On 28 December, Tunisian journalist Zied El Heni was arrested and detained following a broadcast on the private radio station IFM. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), together with its affiliate, the Syndicat national des journalistes tunisiens (SNJT), has sent an open letter to Mr Kais Saied, President of the Republic of Tunisia, asking him to uphold the Constitution, protect press freedom, and to ensure the immediate release of El Heni and other journalists that are behind bars.
