The Tunisian government on Oct. 27 ordered [6] a prominent rights organization, the Tunisian Forum for Social & Economic Rights (FTDES [7]), to suspend its activities for one month. The organization has been outspoken in its criticism of President Kais Saied's crackdown [8] on Black African asylum seekers and migrants in the country, and his promotion of racist tropes [9] about migration. The move comes amid a broader repression of civil society [10].
