Boukhdhir was also   fined, under the 1993 national identity card law, 5 Tunisian dinars (the   equivalent of US$4) for \u201crefusing to show his identification card to a public   security agent.\u201d   \u00a0   \u201cThis case shows the lengths to which Tunisian authorities will go to punish   critics in the press,\u201d CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon said. \u201cWe believe   that Slim Boukhdir, like others before him, is being railroaded by the   Tunisian justice system for his outspoken writings. We call for his immediate   release.\u201d   \u00a0   Boukhdir was arrested by police on November 26 in Sfax while in a taxi heading   to Tunis. Police stopped his cab, asked for identification, and summoned him   for arrest, according to journalists who have followed the case. Police   officers alleged that Boukhdir was verbally abusive\u2014a charge he denies.    \u00a0   In court in Sakiet Ezziet on Tuesday, lawyers told CPJ that Judge Hatem Ouarda   denied Boukhdhir\u2019s right to challenge the allegations made by two witnesses   handpicked by the police. \u201cThe charges remain unproven. They want to involve   him in this case and smear his reputation,\u201d Mohammed Ennouri, a human rights   lawyer and former political prisoner, told CPJ.    \u00a0   Boukhdir\u2019s lawyers and colleagues have denounced the verdict as a sham and say   they believe that his conviction is retaliation for his published criticisms   of the Tunisian government. Plainclothes police have frequently targeted the   blogger, harassing and assaulting him. He has staged several hunger strikes in   recent years to protest this government harassment and the authorities\u2019   refusal to grant him a passport. Shortly after writing an online story   critical of the first lady\u2019s brother, he was assaulted by what he believed   were plainclothes police as he left an Internet cafe in Tunis in May.    \u00a0   Neziha Rejiba of the banned Observatory for Press Freedom, Publishing, and   Creation, as well as editor of the locally blocked online magazine Kalima,   watched the trial with local and international observers. She told CPJ that   \u201ccritics and dissidents are treated as criminals since President Ben Ali   seized power,\u201d 20 years ago last month.   \u00a0   Boukhdhir\u2019s lawyer said they would appeal the \u201cunfair and politically   motivated\u201d court decision.    The media in Tunisia is heavily restricted, and the government actively   harasses the few independent journalists who attempt to write critically of   the government\u2014mostly online or for foreign newspapers.   \u00a0   <font><strong>(Source : NewsAlert du CPJ en date du 5 d\u00e9cembre   2007)   <\/strong><\/font><font><strong>Lien : http:\/\/www.cpj.org\/news\/2007\/mideast\/tunisia05dec07na.html<\/strong><\/font><\/div>\n<div>\n<hr\/>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<h2 style=\"color: red;\"><font size=\"3\"><strong><font>Communiqu\u00e9 de RSF   <\/font>Le journaliste Slim Boukhdir condamn\u00e9 \u00e0 un an de prison<\/strong><\/font><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>  \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>     Reporters sans fronti\u00e8res a appris avec stupeur la condamnation, le 4 d\u00e9cembre   2007, du journaliste Slim Boukhdir \u00e0 un an de prison pour \u201coutrage \u00e0   fonctionnaire dans l\u2019exercice de ses fonctions\u201d, \u201catteinte aux bonnes m\u0153urs\u201d   et \u201crefus de pr\u00e9senter ses papiers d\u2019identit\u00e9\u201d par le tribunal cantonal de   Sakiet Ezzit dans la banlieue de Sfax (231 km au sud de Tunis).

He was also punished for breaching the accepted standards of good   behaviour and refusal to produce identity papers to the police.   \u00a0   He was fined 5 Tunisian dinar [equivalent to 3 euros].   \u00a0   Despite raising several breaches of procedure and contradictions in the police   statement by Slim&rsquo;s lawyers, the trial judge, Hatem Warda, found him culpable.   \u00a0   Boukhdhir was arrested by the police on 26 November while on his way to   recover his passport at a police station in Khaznadar, a suburb of the capital   Tunis. In early November, Boukhdhir observed a 15-day hunger strike in   response to be issued a passport by the police.   \u00a0   A local media rights watchdog, Observatory for the Freedom of Press,   Publishing and Creation in Tunisia (OLPEC), said the conviction was not in   line with the principles of fair trial.   \u00a0   \u00ab\u00a0The trial constitutes a conspiracy to punish Boukhdhir for his articles on   corruption published recently in the international press in which he   implicated close relations of Ben Ali,\u00a0\u00bb OLPEC believed, adding that the \u00ab\u00a0punishment\u00a0\u00bb   is also meant to deprive him of his passport.   \u00a0   \u00ab\u00a0The court has violated the obligation of neutrality by approving the police   statement without taking into account the contradictions it contained. If   Boukhdir&rsquo;s only infraction was refusing to present his identity card, the   sanction by law   \u00a0   is a 5 dinar fine (3 euros), and consequently nothing justified his arrest.   OLPEC denounces this inequitable trial that is against freedom of the press in   Tunisia and calls for the unconditional release of the journalist.\u00a0\u00bb   \u00a0   <strong><font>(Source : l\u2019agence \u00ab AfrolNews \u00bb le 6 d\u00e9cembre   2007)   <\/font><font>Lien : http:\/\/www.afrol.com\/articles\/27458<\/font><\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n<hr\/>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<h3 style=\"color: blue;\"><font size=\"3\"><strong>L\u2019Union G\u00e9n\u00e9rale Tunisienne du Travail<\/strong><\/font><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"> <font size=\"3\"><strong>The General Union of Secondary   Education<\/strong><\/font><\/div>\n<div>  \u00a0<\/div>\n<div>  The purposely dismissed teachers have been on<font> HUNGER   STRIKE<\/font> since20th, November 2007, in accordance with the General Union   of Secondary Education affiliated in the UGTT.

Thousands of people from all walks of life have signed the petition demanding   The Tunisian Ministry of Education and Training to review this repressive   decision.
