Saadia Mosbah, Black Tunisian Activist, Arrested on 6 May 2024

Résumé En

Saadia Mosbah, prominent black Tunisian activist and president of Association M’nemty, was arrested on 6 May 2024. According to Bassem Trifi, lawyer and president of the Tunisian Human Rights League (LTDH), her house was searched and she was placed under police custody while the police investigated the charges of “money laundering” against her organization. Saadia and her organization have spoken and acted in support of black migrants’ rights, especially following the anti-sub-Saharan migrant statement by President Kais Saied on 21 February 2023 and the anti-black violence that it triggered; this support has led to social media-based commentary against and arrest rumors about Saadia.
