London, England – Families of jailed Tunisian opposition figures have filed a legal appeal calling on the United Kingdom to impose sanctions on Tunisian officials, including President Kais Saied, for gross human rights violations.
The appeal was filed under the UK’s Global Human Rights Sanctions Regulations 2020. The UK government can impose sanctions, including travel bans and asset freezes, on entities or bodies it believes were involved in past or current serious human rights violations under the law.
