Amnesty International reported widespread human rights violations against migrants in Tunisia, highlighting the EU's complicity in these abuses. This matters as it raises serious concerns about the treatment of vulnerable populations and the EU's commitment to human rights.

Amnesty International has released a report detailing extensive human rights violations against migrants in Tunisia, particularly those from sub-Saharan Africa. The report, based on interviews with 120 refugees, accuses Tunisian authorities of committing acts of torture, sexual violence, and systemic racial profiling. It also criticizes the European Union for its partnership with Tunisia, which is seen as complicity in these abuses. The EU's designation of Tunisia as a 'safe' country raises ethical concerns, especially as it continues to fund border control efforts that prioritize containment over human rights. Amnesty urges the EU to suspend its cooperation with Tunisia and implement effective safeguards to protect migrants.
