Details on Decree 54 modification
A new decree has been issued in Tunisia concerning amendments to Decree No. 54 of 2022 on combating crimes related to information and communication systems. The modifications include removing the prison sentence for the first offense and replacing it with a monetary fine ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 dinars. The decree stipulates penalties for intentionally using networks and information systems to spread false news, counterfeit documents, or personal data with the aim of violating others' rights, harming public safety, or inciting fear. It also criminalizes defamation and incitement to hatred. Penalties are doubled in cases of repeat offenses, especially when the target is a public official, with the stipulation that the provisions of the penal code shall not apply to these crimes upon recurrence. These amendments aim to strengthen legislation against cybercrimes while reducing prison sentences for first-time violations.
