Tunisia lifts ban on prominent rights group

TUNIS: Tunisian authorities have lifted a ban on the local branch of prominent international NGO Avocats Sans Frontieres, the branch said on Wednesday without providing further details on the measure. ASF said in a statement it was “resuming activities starting May 20” after the ban, imposed on May 5, was lifted. The rights group had received a 30-day suspension, days after another prominent group, which won a Nobel Peace Prize, was targeted by a similar ban.
