Amnesty calls for Tunisian authorities to 'come clean' over role in illegal rendition of Algerian activist
There is speculation that Slimane Bouhafs was traded for former Tunisian presidential candidate and media magnate Nabil Karoui.
Amnesty International has said Tunisian authorities “must come clean” over their alleged role in the illegal rendition of Algerian activist Slimane Bouhafs. The London-based watchdog demanded a thorough investigation be conducted into the disappearance of Bouhafs, an Algerian Christian convert who is formally recognized by the United Nations as a refugee.
“The Tunisian government shares responsibility for his fate and should come clean about its role in his abduction and return,” said Amna Guellali, Amnesty International’s Middle East and North Africa deputy director.
