Former Head of Truth Commission Arbitrarily Detaine

Sihem Bensedrine has been under investigation since February 2023 under charges of “fraud”, “forgery” and “abuse of official capacity” following a complaint about the alleged falsification of the chapter about corruption in the banking sector in the IVD final report. Sihem Bensedrine pre-trial detention is arbitrary because it is based solely on the peaceful exercise of her human rights. The detention also falls short of international standards of fairness. Her prosecution appears to be a reprisal for her work exposing human rights violations as head of the IVD.
