The ICJ’s Centre for the Independence of Judges and Lawyers report on Tunisia concludes that the independence of the judiciary is tenuous and that human rights lawyers are consistently harassed and persecuted.
The ICJ’s Center for the Independence of Judges and Lawyers today expressed its deep dismay at the violent attacks against former Tunisian judge Mokhtar Yahyaoui (photo) which occurred yesterday afternoon.
The ICJ today expressed its outrage that the Government of Tunisia has, for the second time this year, turned back an expert ICJ delegation at Tunis airport.
An ICJ delegation will visit Tunisia from 26 to 31 October to gather information on the independence of the judiciary and assess the functioning of the legal profession.
