Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1991, Publicación: 78ª reunión CIT (1991)

Convenio sobre la abolición del trabajo forzoso, 1957 (núm. 105) - Túnez (Ratificación : 1959)

1. In its previous requests, the Committee asked the Government to provide information on the effect given in practice to the penal provisions contained in sections 44, 45, 48, 61 and 62 of the Press Code. The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no information on this matter. It reports that persons sentenced or on trial for violation of the provisions of press law other than the provisions concerning privacy of the individual, have been released by virtue of the Law of Amnesty No. 89-63 of 3 July 1989. The Committee asks the Government to indicate in its next report any cases where the above-mentioned provisions of the Press Code have been applied, and to include the texts of judicial decisions handed down since the entry into force of the Law of Amnesty, so that the Committee may ascertain that the practical application of these provisions is not affecting the implementation of Article 1(a) of the Convention.

2. The Committee asks the Government to supply a copy of the texts in force concerning public meetings and associations.
