Tunisia Court Fines TV Boss for Showing Allah

A Tunisian court on Thursday slapped a small fine on the owner of the private Nessma television station for undermining morality and public order by screening the film “Persepolis,” which showed depictions of God. The case was seen as a key test of media freedom in Tunisia since the ousting of dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January 2011. Press watchdogs and the US ambassador to Tunis warned it raised concerns about tolerance and free speech in the post-revolution era. Nabil Karoui broadcast last year the award-winning Franco-Iranian film that recounts the Iranian revolution and its aftermath through the eyes of a young girl, and which includes a drawing of Allah, an act considered blasphemy by Sunni Muslims. The screening prompted attacks on the station’s offices and Karoui’s home by activists linked to Salafism, a conservative strand of Islam. I am very sad. I thought that on this day Tunisia was going to present another image to the whole world than one that tampers with freedoms,” he said. “I am very worried about the situation of freedom in Tunisia because my conviction sends a very bad message, not only nationally, but also to the entire Maghreb,” he added. Tunisia is now led by the moderate Islamist Ennahda party that won the most seats in October elections, the first polls since Ben Ali’s ouster. High quality global journalism requires investment. The tumultuous events of 2011 have undermined this idea. Across the Arab world — a region once held to be

Tunisia and Lebanon stage May Day protests

Thousands of Tunisians took to the streets of the capital Tunis for International Labor Day on Tuesday, supported by the Islamist Ennahda party which won the majority of seats in parliament in last year’s elections. Ennahda encouraged Tunisians to take part in protests to spotlight the role labor unions played in the country’s revolution which successfully ousted former president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. The Tunisian interior ministry approved two May Day protests in the capital, one by the General Labor Union (UGTT) on Avenue Habib Bourguiba and one by the Worker’s Union (UTT) on Mohamed V Avenue. “The working conditions in factories, companies and administrations are miserable because nothing has changed,” said Amna Aouadi, from the UGTT. The economy continues to suffer, sixteen months after the revolution began. Investment and the tourism industry are staggering, and the government’s goal of 4.5% economic growth is seemingly overly ambitious. Fadhel Garsalli says he has been working for 15 years and says that both his working and living standards are poor. Unemployment on the other hand has increased from 13 percent last year, to 18 percent, and is significantly higher amongst the youth. Over to the Lebanese capital of Beirut, hundreds walked from Riad el Sohl Square in the city center to the Prime Minister’s building demanding better wages to meet rising costs and consequential dwindling living standards. “We are asking for the rights of each Lebanese citizen
