Tunisian police have arrested Mohamed Yousfi, editor-in-chief of the investigative outlet Al-Qatiba and a prominent critic of President Kais Saied, according to the head of the National Syndicate of Tunisian Journalists. The arrest comes amid a sustained clampdown on independent media, with several journalists sentenced to prison this year and rights groups warning that Saied's consolidation of power has eroded judicial independence. The same week, Tunisia's Court of Cassation upheld convictions against 40 opposition figures, lawyers, and activists on charges of conspiring to overthrow the government.
