Tunisia: Hamma Hammami jailed for three years

Reporters Without Borders (Reporters sans frontières - RSF) says it is appalled at the three years and two months jail sentence for subversion passed on Hamma Hammami, publisher of the Tunisian Communist Workers' Party (PCOT) newspaper El Badil, calling it "further evidence of the determination of President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali's regime to muzzle the press."
