"Mr President, I would like to draw your attention to the events currently unfolding in Tunisia, in the Gafsa mining basin. For several weeks, rallies have been organised against the poverty in this basin, which is rich because it contains many phosphates. It has to be said that the local population is not profiting from the profits, and we are now seeing extremely serious police and military repression, with harassment, imprisonments, arrests, and the sealing off of towns, particularly Redeyef. I am asking the EU head of mission – through you, because I believe the European Parliament’s intervention is necessary – for this matter to be raised for discussion with the Tunisian authorities, for the Guidelines on Human Rights Defenders to be followed, since trade unionists are being imprisoned and we have several accounts of torture, and for the heads of mission to attend trials, meet families and ask for an explanation from the Tunisian authorities of the repression taking place there."@en1
