Five Tunisian refugee aid workers face trial for aiding migrants under a 1975 law, despite their legal status and UNHCR ties.
Five employees of the Tunisian Council for Refugees are set to stand trial on November 24, 2025, on charges of facilitating irregular migration under Tunisia’s 1975 law, despite the group’s legal status and UNHCR partnership.
The organization, which provided emergency shelter, medical care, and asylum screening, was shut down in May 2024 after publishing a public tender for hotel accommodations.
Authorities arrested its founder, Mustapha Djemali, and project manager Abderrazek Krimi, both held in pretrial detention, while freezing the group’s and individuals’ bank accounts.
Human Rights Watch condemned the prosecution as part of a broader crackdown on civil society, noting that standard humanitarian aid is being criminalized.
Djemali, an 81-year-old with a chronic illness, has been denied adequate medical care.
The trial marks the first against a civil society group since multiple NGO workers were detained between May and December 2024.
