"The assault of two independent journalists in Tunisia and the arrest of a third in the wake of last week’s elections must be punished, Amnesty International said on Friday. »It appears that these three journalists were targeted because they have criticized the government and opposed the re-election, for a fifth term, of President Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali, » said Malcolm Smart, Amnesty International’s director for the Middle East and North Africa Programme. »This is an extremely worrying development, indicating that there is likely to be no let-up in the Tunisian government’s repression of dissent.
