AAM partnered with leading Tunisian channel Attounsia TV to host a town hall discussion on minority rights. The event provided a forum for minority-group representatives from across the country to voice their concerns directly to government officials and civil society leaders.

The town hall brought together a panel of three government and civil society officials and an enthusiastic audience to discuss the concerns, demands and future of Tunisia’s minorities. These audience members were represented by a group of eleven participants belonging to different minority groups in Tunisia.  Panelists discussed the importance of including minorities' rights in the Constitution as a way to ensure a culture of tolerance for future generations.  

Panelists included:

  • Samir Dilou, Tunisia’s Minister of Human Rights and Transitional Justice

  • Souad Abdelrahim, President of the Legislative Committee for Rights and Freedoms and Foreign Affairs at the Constituent Assembly

  • Abdelsattar Ben Moussa, President of the Tunisian League for Human Rights
