Tunisian Activist Saadia Mosbah's Sentencing: A Blow to Civil Rights

Cato

Tunisian anti-racism activist Saadia Mosbah, 66, was sentenced to eight years in prison by a Tunisian court on March 19 on charges of money laundering and illicit enrichment. Her son was also sentenced to three years in prison.

Tunisian anti-racism activist Saadia Mosbah, 66, was sentenced to eight years in prison by a Tunisian court on March 19 on charges of money laundering and illicit enrichment. Her son was also sentenced to three years in prison.

Mosbah, founder of the anti-racism group Mnemty, had been held in pretrial detention since May 2024. She played a key role in advocacy that led to Tunisia's 2018 law criminalizing racial discrimination, a first for the region.

Her lawyer, Hela Ben Salem, called the verdict "a shocking ruling that has nothing to do with the case" and announced an immediate appeal, saying it sent a clear message that "civil society work is suspicious" under the current government.

Rights groups, including the Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders and the World Organisation Against Torture, had urged Tunisian authorities to release Mosbah before the verdict, citing her age and health condition.

Mosbah's arrest followed a 2023 speech by President Kais Saied, who described sub-Saharan migrants as a demographic threat. Saied also accused civil society groups defending migrants of being "traitors and mercenaries" who received foreign funds.

At least 10 people working with migrant aid organizations were detained from May 2024, and 14 organizations partially suspended or reoriented their work as a result. Tunisia has become a key transit point for migrants seeking to reach Europe.
