Haifa Chebbi

Haifa Chebbi is the daughter of Ahmed Nejib Chebbi, a prominent Tunisian opposition figure and political prisoner. She recently gained attention for witnessing and reporting on the harsh prison conditions faced by inmates at Tunisia's Mornaguia prison. Specifically, she observed the temporary collapse of jailed opposition leader Rached Ghannouchi due to extreme heat during an intense heatwave. This incident highlights the deteriorating conditions within Tunisian prisons, particularly for political detainees. Her father, Ahmed Nejib Chebbi, is among those facing legal proceedings, with Tunisia's Court of Cassation recently upholding convictions and lengthy prison sentences for dozens of opposition figures accused of conspiring against President Kais Saied. Haifa Chebbi's account provides a personal perspective on the human impact of these political and judicial developments in Tunisia.
