The Observatoire pour la liberté de presse, d'édition et de création (OLPEC) is requesting your help - post this banner on your website calling for the release of jailed Tunisian journalist Taoufik Ben Brik. He was sentenced to six months in prison on 26 November. Ben Brik was arrested in October following publication of critical articles on the recent re-election of President Ben Ali. Members of the Tunisia Monitoring Group (TMG) remain concerned about the health of Ben Brik who suffers from a chronic ailment.
