Tunisia: Former Head Truth and Dignity Commission Under Investigation for Report Falsification

The former president of Tunisia's Truth and Dignity Commission (IVD), who opposed Ben Ali's regime and sought reconciliation, is under judicial investigation for allegedly falsifying the institution's final report. An investigative judge from Tunisia's Economic and Financial Judicial Pole issued a detention warrant against her. The investigation followed a complaint by an IVD member, accusing her of falsifying the report on state compensations by the Franco-Tunisian Bank. This measure is seen as indicative of the current regime's repressive policies, targeting prominent civil society figures and aligning with broader accusations of authoritarianism against the Tunisian government.
