Code of criminal procedure, condemning freedom to the guillotine

Tunisia's criminal justice system has been under heavy criticism, as it is often accused of empowering the executive, denying citizens access to fair trials that guarantee their rights and dignity, and presuming their innocence until proven guilty.

تواجه المنظومة الجزائية التونسية العديد من الانتقادات، بوصفها منظومة تعطي الكثير من الصلاحيات للسلطة التنفيذية، وتقف أمام نفاذ المواطنين إلى محاكمات عادلة تضمن حقوقهم وكرامتهم الإنسانية وتفترض فيهم البراءة ما دامت لم تثبت الإدانة .

La justice pénale tunisienne est très critiquée. Le système est accusé de renforcer le pouvoir exécutif, de priver les citoyens d'accéder à des procès équitables qui garantissent leurs droits et leur dignité, et de présumer leur innocence jusqu'à preuve du contraire.

"The criminal system in Tunisia was established to protect the elite," says Judge Omar Oueslati as he speaks about the need to change the entire system as it has proven to be inconsistent with human rights and the right to a fair trial.

In this third episode of the "On the brink of justice" podcast, actors in the judicial system voice their concerns about the criminal justice system and the Code of Criminal Procedure. According to Ahmed Souab, article 85 of the Code of Criminal Procedure contains provisions similar to a "guillotine" for the freedom of individuals.

On the brink of Justice

Through the "On the brink of Justice" podcast, consisting of six episodes, we delve into the facts and realities of the judicial system and its relationship with the citizens and the executive branch. From there, we examine the length of litigation, infrastructure, the Code of Criminal Procedure, and the relationship between judges and law enforcement. The podcast will also address the recent dismissals of certain judges and the publication of new texts covering the functioning of the judiciary, such as the new constitution in its fifth chapter, which deals with the judicial function and the law on criminal reconciliation.
