Sonia Dahmani

Sonia Dahmani is a Tunisian lawyer and writer known for her outspoken criticism of the government, particularly regarding issues of racism and freedom of expression. She was arrested in May 2022 and faced multiple charges under laws that restrict free speech, including a controversial law enacted by President Kais Saied. Dahmani gained significant attention after a recent European Parliament resolution called for her release, which Saied condemned as interference in Tunisia's internal affairs. After spending time in prison, she was conditionally released but remains under judicial supervision, highlighting the ongoing tensions between the Tunisian government and human rights advocates.
