A court in Tunisia has sentenced a prominent journalist to six months in prison for defaming a civil servant, according to his lawyer. | |
Mohammed Boughalleb's brother and attorney both said he had faced charges of insulting a public official. | |
He was detained in the capital, Tunis, last month on a complaint from the official who works in the religious affairs ministry. | |
Reports say the official accused Boughalleb of "damaging her honour and reputation" in Facebook posts and in the local media. | |
Mr Boughalleb, a radio journalist, is known as an outspoken critic of President Kais Saied. | |
The head of the national journalists' union, Zied Dabbar, said the incident was the latest attempt by the state to intimidate journalists. | |
The international media organisation, Reporters Without Borders, has warned of growing restrictions on journalists in Tunisia. | |
