In the case commonly known now as the "case of the 17", which has involved many political figures, journalists, and activists since February 2023, the accused face sentences of up to the death penalty. However, at present, the files are based on empty evidence and unconvincing testimonies from informants, while they are accused of plotting against State Security.
More recently, on Monday April 17, the leader of Ennahdha movement, Rached Ghannouchi, was arrested at his home and taken for questioning, without allowing his lawyers to be present.
During this episode, our guests analyze the current political situation and its impact on the rule of law in the country. They examine the accusations against the people involved and the implications for the Tunisian judicial system. They particularly focus on the dysfunction of justice and the pressure exerted by President Kais Saied on the judicial power - which has been transformed into a function - to make it a tool for repression.
Guests:
Fida Hammami, International Commission of Jurists (ICJ)
Ahmed Souab, activist and retired administrative judge
Malek Khadhraoui, Publication Director - inkyfada
Moderator : Emna Chebaane, Editorial Director of inkyfada

Inkyfada Podcast is the first platform entirely dedicated to original Tunisian podcasts, and was conceived by Inkyfada media in collaboration with the in-house research and development laboratory, InkyLab. Inkyfada joined the global podcast boom in 2017, when the team produced the first Tunisian audio documentary, diving deep into the belly of the El Kamour struggle taking place in the desert. Since then, Inkyfada Podcast has produced a wide variety of documentaries, investigations, and podcast series, as well as articles accompanied by music; covering a multitude of contemporary issues in order to offer an immersive and alternative podcast experience. Whilst exclusively offering audio content, the Inkyfada Podcast team upholds the same core values and principles of inkyfada.com, and is committed to producing high quality content though a dynamic and meticulous production process. In addition to the permanent team, Inkyfada podcast works closely with various journalists, artists, illustrators, musicians and other content creators in order to diversify the platform and support artistic creativity. These podcasts differ from traditional radiophonic content in that the applied production and editing process is more akin to cinematographic techniques, in addition to being web-based, downloadable and accessible on demand. Additionally, Inkyfada Podcast uniquely offers subtitles in French, Arabic and English for all audio content, the majority of which is recorded in Tunisian or in the preferred language of the speaker in question.
