Tunisia suspends one of Africa’s oldest rights group as crackdown widens

Authorities in Tunisia have ordered a one-month suspension of the Tunisian League for Human Rights, a rights group awarded the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize. The league confirmed the suspension, calling it a serious violation of freedom of association and a direct assault on democratic gains. The move follows a series of measures targeting rights groups, including NGOs and journalists, amid a broader pattern of arrests and legal pressure targeting critics.
