The Spin

Tunisia's eight-year sentence against Saadia Mosbah is a blatant attempt to silence civil society under the cover of money laundering charges. President Saied's crackdown — branding humanitarian workers as "traitors and mercenaries" — has gutted migrant aid organizations and left vulnerable people stranded without support. Locking up a 66-year-old anti-racism pioneer sends an unmistakable message that defending human rights is now a crime in Tunisia.

Tunisia's prosecution of Mosbah fits a deliberate pattern of dismantling civil society while migrants face mass expulsions, desert abandonment and violence. European deals bankrolling Tunisia's border enforcement made these abuses possible, turning migrant suffering into a political win for leaders like Meloni. Calling this justice is absurd — it's a government criminalizing the very people exposing its failures.
