TUNIS (Reuters) – A Tunisian court sentenced on Wednesday two prominent journalists, Borhan Bsaiss and Mourad Zghidi, to one year in prison on charges of publishing false news and publishing news intended to insult, a judicial official told Reuters.
Zghidi and Bsaiss, both journalists with IFM radio, were detained this month over political comments made on the radio.
