The family of prominent Tunisian lawyer Ahmed Souab said the Court of Appeal decided on Monday to release him.
Souab, a strong critic of President Kais Saied, had been serving a five-year prison sentence.
Tunisia’s judicial counterterrorism unit issued a warrant in April 2025 ordering the imprisonment of the well-known lawyer after he criticized the judiciary during the trial of a number of politicians accused in the “conspiracy against state security” case.
