Tunisia Journalist sentenced to a year in prison on trumped-up charges

4.12.2007 - Reporters Without Borders is stunned by the one-year prison sentence imposed on journalist Slim Boukhdir. “Tunisian journalists are often jailed on grounds unrelated to their work so that the authorities cannot be accused of censorship. But no one is fooled. Boukhdir is paying the price for being outspoken" the press freedom organisation said.
