Easing 🇹🇳 Tunisia

The Kef court cuts the 30-year cannabis sentences

After the appeal hearing was postponed from February to 9 March, a court in El Kef reduced the sentences of the three men to two years in prison, according to a report of 10 March. The January verdict had drawn criticism from citizens, civil society and human rights organisations and calls to amend Law 52, which sets a minimum of one year in prison and a fine from 1,000 dinars for use.[1][2]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Tunisia here.
