CORRECTION: IFEX-TMG members write to UN secretary-general about government's obligations to cease harassment of human rights defenders and journalists

(IFEX-TMG) - Please note an error in the TMG joint action dated 19 January 2007. In paragraph 6, it was mistakenly noted that civilian demonstrators were involved. The correct version, which follows, should state: "TMG members also highlighted concerns about the Tunisian government's censorship of deadly clashes between security forces and armed groups in the end of December 2006 and in early January 2007 in the Southern suburbs of Tunis."
