Disheartening

It's deeply unsettling to see such a harsh sentence for a human rights activist. Are we just going to watch democracy erode in Tunisia?

EU condemns Tunisia over conviction of rights activist

BRUSSELS: The European Union on Saturday condemned the sentencing of Sihem Bensedrine, one of Tunisia’s best-known opposition figures, and urged the authorities to restore pluralism in the country where the Arab Spring began. The 75-year-old activist was sentenced to 25 years in prison on charges of abuse of office and forgery, which NGOs have condemned as politically motivated.

I'm just glad I don't live there. No offense to Tunisians, but this is scary.

Activist or not, if he broke the law, he must face consequences. That's justice.

It's sad but expected. The same forces that crushed hopes in Egypt are at work here.

Brother, democracy in Tunisia was an illusion from the start. May Allah guide them.

This is what happens when the army controls everything. No surprise.
