The health and detention conditions of Ben Brik, one of the most critical journalists of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and who is currently serving a six-month jail sentence on a series of trumped-up charges, are alarming, lawyers and journalists told CPJ.   His wife, Azza Zarrad, brother Jalal Zoghlami and lawyers Radhia Nasraoui, Ayachi Hammami and Mohamed Abbou have been repeatedly prevented from visiting him at Siliana Prison, nearly 75 miles (120 kilometers) southwest of the Tunisian capital, where detention conditions are \u00ab\u00a0much harsher\u00a0\u00bb than other prisons closer to his home in Tunis, lawyer and former political prisoner Mohamed Abbou told CPJ.  \u00ab\u00a0Taoufik&rsquo;s life is in danger. His health is so frail that I doubt he could survive the squalid detention conditions and months of imprisonment,\u00a0\u00bb his wife told CPJ. \u00ab\u00a0This is a case of absolute repression and abuse of power and vengeance inflicted on a political prisoner and his family,\u00a0\u00bb she added.   The Web site of the French weekly Le Nouvel Observateur, to which Ben Brik was a regular contributor until his arrest on November 26, quoted on Thursday his sister Sa\u00efda, who briefly saw him on Tuesday, as saying that her brother&rsquo;s health and detention conditions were \u00ab\u00a0alarming\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0deplorable.\u00a0\u00bb   \u00ab\u00a0We urge President Ben Ali to order an immediate end to the vindictive persecution of our colleague Taoufik Ben Brik,\u00a0\u00bb said CPJ Middle East and North Africa Program Coordinator Mohamed Abdel Dayem. \u00ab\u00a0The Tunisian authorities bear full responsibility for his welfare.\u00a0\u00bb   Ben Brik&rsquo;s lawyers and relatives told CPJ that he had diabetes and a hormonal disorder called Cushing&rsquo;s Syndrome, which require regular medication and care.   Naziha R\u00e9jiba, a 2009 CPJ International Press Freedom Award winner told CPJ that the persecution of Ben Brik has not abated for years and that in May 2008 an Interior Ministry security officer called his wife to \u00ab\u00a0encourage her to divorce him.\u00a0\u00bb   On November 26, a Tunis minor court handed down a six-month jail sentence to Ben Brik for assaulting a woman, damaging property, harming public decency, and defamation. Many journalists said that interviews Ben Brik conducted with leading dissidents before the reelection of Ben Ali for a fifth consecutive five-year term and a satirical story making fun of the president&rsquo;s de facto life term he wrote for the Web site of the French weekly Le Nouvel Observateur are the real causes for his current imprisonment.   On December 1, Zuhair Makhlouf, a political activist and correspondent for Assabil Online, a Tunisian news Web site, was sentenced to three months in prison for \u00ab\u00a0harming and disturbing others through the public communication network.\u00a0\u00bb The court also ordered him to pay 6,000 Tunisian dinars (US$4,700) in damages. Both Ben Brik and Makhlouf appealed the verdicts.   Attacks and physical assaults on critical journalists and also smear campaigns calling them and dissidents \u00ab\u00a0traitors\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0agents on the payroll of Western and Israeli intelligence services\u00a0\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0sexual perverts\u00a0\u00bb have been escalating since President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali threatened to prosecute anyone who casts doubt on his reelection in late October.   Nearly 100 Tunisian journalists and political and rights activists established on Thursday a group called the National Committee to Defend Freedom of Expression and Information, coinciding with the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Their stated aim is to denounce the \u00ab\u00a0grave deterioration\u00a0\u00bb of freedom of expression and the \u00ab\u00a0hegemony of the authorities on the media.\u00a0\u00bb Tunisian authorities denied any attack on press freedom and called the committee \u00ab\u00a0illegal,\u00a0\u00bb according to local news reports.  \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n<hr\/>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: red;\"><font size=\"3\">Taoufik Ben Brik : la famille demande \u00e0 Sarkozy d&rsquo;intervenir<\/font><\/h2>\n<p><\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">AFP 16.12.09 | 14h51\u00a0 La famille de Taoufik Ben Brik et son avocat fran\u00e7ais ont demand\u00e9 dans une lettre \u00e0 Nicolas Sarkozy d&rsquo;intervenir aupr\u00e8s de homologue tunisien Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali en faveur du journaliste et opposant tunisien condamn\u00e9 dans son pays \u00e0 six mois de prison ferme.  \u00ab\u00a0Je me permets solennellement d&rsquo;attirer votre attention sur les tr\u00e8s grandes menaces qui existent aujourd&rsquo;hui sur la personne de Taoufik Ben Brik compte-tenu de la d\u00e9gradation de son \u00e9tat de sant\u00e9\u00a0\u00bb, \u00e9crit Me William Bourdon dans cette lettre au pr\u00e9sident de la R\u00e9publique dat\u00e9e de lundi et transmise \u00e0 l&rsquo;AFP. \u00ab\u00a0La famille pense comme moi que le pr\u00e9sident de la R\u00e9publique tunisienne n&rsquo;est susceptible de mettre un terme \u00e0 cette vie de vengeance que si la France lui adresse un message fort\u00a0\u00bb, estime l&rsquo;avocat.

Baptis\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0Stats Monkey\u00a0\u00bb (\u00ab\u00a0le petit g\u00e9nie des statistiques\u00a0\u00bb) et mis au point avec l\u2019\u00e9cole de journalisme Medill, qui fait \u00e9galement partie de NorthWestern University, ce programme utilise des ordinateurs pour \u00ab\u00a0\u00e9crire\u00a0\u00bb le compte-rendu d\u2019un match de base-ball. Il rassemble les r\u00e9sultats, des descriptifs des principales actions du match, des donn\u00e9es historiques, g\u00e9n\u00e8re un titre et accroche une photo. Le programme fonctionne avec un mod\u00e8le statistique pour rechercher quelle est l\u2019action principale ou la plus grosse information d\u2019un match et rep\u00e9rer les principaux joueurs. Au final, l\u2019article produit en quelques secondes a pratiquement l\u2019allure d\u2019une demi-page de tablo\u00efde, sign\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0La Machine\u00a0\u00bb, avec une qualit\u00e9 qui selon M. Hammond est plut\u00f4t meilleure que celle de \u00ab\u00a0papiers\u00a0\u00bb \u00e9crits \u00e0 la h\u00e2te par des journalistes en chair en en os. \u00ab\u00a0Nous avons fourni des articles pour tous les matchs\u00a0\u00bb, dit-il, \u00ab\u00a0et nous nous sommes aper\u00e7us que c\u2019\u00e9tait un peu mieux\u00a0\u00bb que ce qu\u2019on lit dans le journal. Au-del\u00e0 des donn\u00e9es statistiques, \u00ab\u00a0Stats Monkey\u00a0\u00bb peut aussi r\u00e9cup\u00e9rer des d\u00e9clarations des joueurs ou entra\u00eeneurs ayant particip\u00e9 au match. A terme, explique M. Hammond, l\u2019id\u00e9e est de d\u00e9velopper le programme pour couvrir la natation et m\u00eame des actualit\u00e9s \u00e9conomiques, comme les r\u00e9sultats d\u2019entreprise &#8211; \u00ab\u00a0tout ce qui contient des donn\u00e9es chiffr\u00e9s brutes\u00a0\u00bb. A ce stade, \u00ab\u00a0nous pensons que \u2019Stats Monkey\u2019 a plus d\u2019avenir que \u2019Les infos de 7 heures\u2019\u00a0\u00bb, dit-il. Plusieurs organismes de presse se sont montr\u00e9s int\u00e9ress\u00e9s, ajoute-t-il, sans les citer.
