Mr President
in November the World Summit on the Information Society is to be held in Tunisia. The imprisonment and trial of the lawyer, Mohamed Abbou, show that this meeting is being organised in a country which does not practise freedom of speech and does not permit freedom of activity on the part of journalists’ trade unions and human rights organisations, in particular the International League for Human Rights.
In our resolution we are calling for the immediate release of Maître Abbou. There is good reason to press Tunisia to act to strengthen democracy, establish the principles of the rule of law, respect human rights, safeguard people’s right to speak and express themselves freely, and guarantee the independence of the judiciary, in accordance with the acquis of the Barcelona process.
Furthermore, the social status of women needs improving. It is not just a problem of Tunisia’s Arab culture: it is a common problem with developing countries. It cannot be excused in Tunisia just because there are other countries where women are socially inferior."@en1
