"Mr President, I am going to follow on from Mrs Flautre’s speech and invite you to write to the Tunisian authorities.
This year, we are going to award the Sakharov Prize, the symbol of the European Parliament’s commitment to human rights. We have a partnership agreement with Tunisia which contains many provisions relating to democracy and human rights.
Nevertheless, the presidential elections in Tunisia have just been held in lamentable conditions that are unworthy of the provisions contained in the agreement with the European Union. We cannot remain silent. Human rights defenders in Tunisia are being scorned, arrested and humiliated. This can go on no longer.
That is why, Mr President, I urge you to write to President Ben Ali and to call, in particular, for the release of Taoufik Ben Brik, a committed journalist whose only crime has been to criticise the so-called democracy in Tunisia."@en1
