Europe has questions to answer over migrant abuse in Tunisia, say MEPs and activists

The EU has provided large financial resources to Tunisia to curb migration, but evidence reveals severe human rights violations, particularly against vulnerable migrants and refugees.

Civil society organizations continue to fight for migrants' rights despite facing repression, as they document and assist those affected by these egregious abuses.

Reports allege that EU-funded security forces in Tunisia are involved in sexual violence against women and have colluded with smugglers, deepening the crisis for migrants.

MEPs are demanding transparency from the European Commission on the extent of human rights violations in Tunisia and the potential continuation of financial aid.
