Click to expand Image Tunisias shuttered parliament. President Saeid suspended the body on July 25 as part of his seizure of extraordinary powers. July 26, 2021, Bardo, Tunis, Tunisia. © 2021 Ahmed Zarrouki (Tunis) Tunisian authorities are prosecuting citizens in both military and civilian courts and jailing them for public criticism of President Kais Saied and other officials, Human Rights Watch said today. Those prosecuted include members of parliament, commentators on social media, and a television host. Using repressive laws enacted prior to the Tunisian revolution, prosecutors are going after those who criticize Saied and who label as a coup his seizure of exceptional powers beginning on July 25, 2021. Of the five recent speech cases that Human Rights Watch reviewed, one person is currently serving a prison sentence for insulting the president, among other charges, three are on trial for defaming the army and insulting the president, and one is under criminal investigation on similar accusations. To publicly challenge the president and his seizure of special powers is to risk finding yourself in court, said Eric Goldstein, acting Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch. Silencing critics is doubly dangerous at a time when the president is busy concentrating so much power in his own hands. Saied has publicly supported, in numerous instances, prosecuting Tunisians who insult and defame, rather than exercise their right to free speech. In the civilian courts, charges include insulting the president, under article 67 of the penal code, accusing public officials of crimes related to their jobs without furnishing proof of guilt (article 128), and an attack that seeks to change the form of government or to incite people to take up arms against one another article 72, which can be punishable by death).

WhatsApp Facebook Twitter Email Messenger O ur fundamentalist brothers are still having fun in our society East and West, South and North. They prohibited the circulation of any merchandise or toy with a rainbow under the pretext that this is the slogan of homosexuals. The rationalist obeyed them and closed some shops selling such commodities. Then, the atmosphere became pleasant for the fundamentalists; prompting them to keep on forbidding and giving orders. The latest of their orders was the removal of a beautiful Christmas tree from one of the famous complexes under the pretext that it contradicts their customs and traditions! We do not know the contents of such customs, traditions and heritage that are hostile to everything beautiful. What is the harm in seeing a tree with colorful lights that delights the psyche of those who look at it whether a child, a young man or a young woman, man or woman? We used to see Christmas trees in the oil city of Ahmadi, in front of Jashanmal Store in Safat Square, and in churches whenever we go to greet our brothers in humanity who belong to the Christian faith; that is, before God afflicted us with the likes of our puritanical, eclectic and hateful fundamentalists.

The Clouds Have Cleared In 2021, And What We Are Seeing Is A Dystopian 2022 Via Birch Gold Group , This year was a doozy. Right out of the gate, millionaires were sounding the alarm that the markets were looking overvalued while reducing their risk exposure. In February we got a taste of what could be the end game for the U.S. dollar as we saw it lose more of its grip as global reserve currency. Of course, it wont collapse overnight because market psychology is still propping it up (for now). But three big major economic influences have made 2021 one to remember. This chaotic trifecta of market turbulence kept the media busy and retirement savers on the edge of their seats. So without further ado, lets dive into the first one The confused Fed Back in 2019 when the repo markets started going crazy, we reported how the Feds confused response only added fuel to a fire that continued to burn into this year. And this year, one word you might have heard coming from Powells mouth with nauseating frequency to describe rising inflation was transitory. Over and over again, Powells confused Fed kept downplaying inflation Until it was obvious to everybody that inflation wasnt transitory any longer.
