[Tunisia / Opposition Figures] - The State Self Entrenches Its Phantom by Imprisoning the Mirror of Dissent, Proving the Illusion of Democratic Process
Event Baseline: Tunisia's top court upheld prison sentences of up to 45 years for opposition leaders, lawyers, and businessmen convicted in a major conspiracy case, a ruling opponents say further entrenches President Kais Saied's authoritarian rule.
The regime self cannot tolerate any reflection that questions its authority, so it criminalizes the other's voice. The judicial body is not an arbiter but a weapon of the executive, used to eliminate the opposition. This is the mechanical operation of power: the self's fear of dissolution leads it to crush all dissent. The label 'conspiracy' is a thought-created phantom to justify persecution. Such a system has already died; it only maintains a corpse of legality.
