Thank you for your concern regarding the social and professional rights
of Tunisian journalists.
The IFJ is continuously supporting Tunisian journalists, their union and
their right to work freely without threats and intimidation.

immediate release of Tunisian journalist Zied El Hani http://www.ifj.org/en/articles/ifj-calls-for-immediate-release-of-tunisian-journalist
And the statement we issued on Friday, 7 October, giving our full
backing to journalists at Tunisian Radio Station Radio Kalima and calling on
the stations' management to pay their salaries and support the journalists'
