Fahem Boukadous is an independent Tunisian journalist who is currently sitting in prison, suffering from severe asthma and not receiving proper medical attention. Many people, including his wife, fear that his four year term will turn into a death sentence.
Fahem was arrested the day after he was released from the hospital, on charges of "belonging to a criminal organization" and "disseminating material liable to disturb public order."
These charges were brought up because he was doing his job, reporting violent labor protests in the Gafsa mining region of Tunisia in 2008. The government is a self-professed democracy, but is not allowing Fahem Boukadous the freedom to do his job.
It's time to let the Tunisian government know that the world is watching, and if they want to have the respect of the international community, they need to respect human rights and freedom of expression.
Tell the Tunisian government to release Fahem Boukadous and allow him to get proper medical treatment.
