Bill overview
This resolution honors Tunisia’s role as the starting point of the Arab Spring and acknowledges the country’s democratic progress since 2010, including the adoption of a new constitution and holding its first free and fair presidential election. However, the resolution also expresses concern over recent actions by President Saied that have undermined democratic institutions, restricted freedoms, and led to political repression. It urges the Tunisian government to release political prisoners, uphold human rights, and ensure free and fair elections.
