JAKARTA - Sonia Dahmani, a leading Tunisian lawyer and critic of President Kais Saied, was sentenced to two years in prison on charges of insulting her country.
The punishment relates to comments on local radio when Sonia called Tunisia a racist country, lawyer Sami Ben Ghazi told Reuters on Thursday, October 24. His comments followed clashes between migrants and local residents.
Dahmani has been jailed since May and sentenced to eight months in September in separate cases for saying Tunisia is not a good place to live.
President Saied won his second term of office this month by 90 percent of the vote, defeating two other candidates, one of whom is in prison, amid opposition criticism that the election was just a joke.

Election opponents called for calm after the election, as well as the release of political prisoners and journalists.
The opposition accused Saied staged a coup when he closed parliament and began to rule by decree in 2021 said this month after his victory that he would continue his fight against what he called corrupt, traitor, and skeptics.
