Tunisian court imprisons lawyer Ahmed Souab for five years in rushed trial over criticism of president.
A Tunisian court sentenced lawyer Ahmed Souab, 68, to five years in prison and three years of administrative supervision after a seven-minute trial, according to his defense.
He was charged under anti-terrorism laws and Decree Law 54, which critics say enables arbitrary prosecutions over "fake news."
Souab, a former magistrate and critic of President Kais Saied, was arrested in April after speaking out against judicial proceedings in a high-profile case involving opposition figures.
His legal team refused to enter a plea, citing unfair conditions, and the trial was conducted without his presence.
Human rights groups condemned the verdict as a mockery of justice, part of a broader crackdown on dissent since Saied assumed sweeping powers in 2021.
Demonstrations followed, and an appeal in the larger conspiracy case is set for November 17.
