Tunisian court sentences journalist Zied Heni to one year in prison
A Tunisian court sentenced the prominent reporter Zied Heni to one year prison on Thursday, after he criticized a judicial ruling, his lawyer told Reuters.
Heni was detained last month after writing an article criticising the judiciary , a move the journalists' union said was part of a broader crackdown on free speech.
