The Tunis court has sentenced a 51-year-old man to death for Facebook posts deemed inciting and offensive towards President Kais Saied. He was found guilty of attempting to overthrow the state, insulting the president, and spreading false information. His lawyer argued that the posts were copied and that the client's intention was to highlight his personal difficulties, not to incite violence. Although the death penalty is still in effect in Tunisia, executions have not taken place since 1991. The case highlights the controversies surrounding Decree 54, which restricts freedom of expression.
