Journalist Taoufik Ben Brik, 50, was released Tuesday morning (April 27th) from Siliana prison in northwest Tunisia, ANSA reported. Ben Brik was freed "after serving the whole of his sentence, not a single day less", AFP quoted his wife Azza Zarad as saying. The dissident reporter received a six-month prison term last November for attacking a female driver after a Tunis road accident. Tunisian human rights advocacy groups, international press freedom organizations and Amnesty International decried the trial, arguing that the case against the journalist was politically motivated and legally flawed.
