Tunisia: 'A Blueprint for Complicity' - Three Years On, EU-Tunisia Deal Continues to Fuel Human Rights Violations

[HRW] Joint Statement by 46 Human Rights and Humanitarian Organizations [HRW] Brussels -- The European Union (EU) and its member states should publicly denounce human rights violations in Tunisia and stop funding abusive migration control activities, 46 human rights and humanitarian organizations said in a joint statement released today. The statement comes three years after the EU and Tunisia signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on July 16, 2023, largely motivated by seeking Tunisia's cooperation to prevent boats carrying migrants and asylum seekers from irregularly departing for Europe.
