Earlier in the evening, lawyer Nafaâ Laâribi stated that the case brought against journalist Mohamed Boughalleb by a civil servant from the Ministry of Religious Affairs was deliberated in order to deliver the judgment after the pleadings.
Laaribi indicated that the Defense Collective had requested a dismissal in this case, as “the procedures against Boughalleb are void and have no effect.”
