A Tunisian court sentenced a journalist loyal to Hifter “Mahmoud Almisrati” to four months in prison and a fine of 1,000 Tunisian dinars for defamation and slander on the Libyan civil society activist Leila Souissi.
The activist, Leila Souissi accused Almisrati of writing postings that made false accusations and slanders against her, including that her organization, “The Pulse of Libya for Peace and Development”, is funded by certain parties.
Souissi expressed, in press statements, her happiness at the issuance of the ruling, and considered it a victory for her case, expressing her hope that the ruling will come into effect soon.
It is worth noting that, in May, the Minister of the Interior, Fathi Pashaga, wrote a letter to the Attorney General on the classification of journalist Mahmoud Amisrati, a terrorist linking and coordinating between ISIS and Alkarama Operation.
