Sihem Bensedrine, a prominent human rights activist in Tunisia, has embarked on a hunger strike from prison to protest her unjust detention. Arrested in August 2022, she faces allegations of fraud, which many believe are politically motivated amid a wider crackdown on dissent under President Kais Saied.
The human rights landscape in Tunisia has significantly worsened, marked by the erosion of democratic institutions and the abandonment of transitional justice efforts. Bensedrine previously led the Tunisian Truth and Dignity Commission, which documented extensive human rights abuses.
Despite international calls for her release, she continues her hunger strike as a desperate measure to demand justice and highlight the deteriorating human rights situation in Tunisia.
