In Tunisia, more than 50 people have been in prison without trial for months for alleged conspiracy against state security or under a decree punishing the spreading of false information. Most of them are political opponents of President Kais Saied and the Ministry of justice has not been commenting on the cases publicly. For the families and lawyers of the prisoners, waiting for trials is becoming more and more trying. Lilia Blaise, Hamdi Tlili and Fadil Aliriza report.
