20 prisoners die in Tunisian heatwave
In recent weeks, 20 prisoners in Tunisia have died as a result of a severe heatwave that worsened the already difficult prison conditions. Temperatures rose to over 45 degrees Celsius, leading to a shortage of ventilation, increased overcrowding, and a rise in heat-related deaths, including cases of suffocation and strokes. Human rights organizations have called for the declaration of a health emergency to address the growing number of heatstroke cases, while authorities have not yet released official figures regarding the total number of deaths. The poor conditions inside the prisons, especially with the rising temperatures, highlight the increasing health risks faced by detainees in Tunisia.
