A Tunisian court on Friday sentenced Ahmed Souab, one of the fiercest critics of President Kais Saied, to five years in prison, his lawyer told Reuters.
Souab, a former administrative judge and a lawyer, was detained since last April over remarks in which he criticised the state of the judiciary. Authorities said his comments amounted to a threat against the judiciary.
A Moroccan prosecutor said on Wednesday he had ordered the release of veteran journalist and political commentator Ali Lmrabet after questioning him, although an investigation continues following allegations of defamation and libel.
G7 foreign ministers and the European Union's foreign policy chief on Wednesday urged Sudan's Rapid Support Forces and allied armed groups to stop all actions that could lead to further atrocities or endanger civilians in El-Obeid.
The Sudanese army has conditioned any broad acceptance of a U.S. proposal for ending the country's three-year-old civil war on the full withdrawal by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces from cities it has occupied, according to documents seen by Reuters.
