チュニジア弁護士会の会長を務めたこともあるアブデラザク・キラニ弁護士が3月2日、根拠がない容疑で軍事法廷に起訴された。恣意的拘束中のクライアント、ビリ元法務大臣の見舞いで病院を訪れた際、入館を阻止しようとする警官と押し問答になり、拘束された。その後、警官への言動が、公序良俗違反、国家公務員の侮辱、業務執行妨害にあたるなどとして起訴された。有罪なら最高7年を言い渡される。当局はキラニさんを直ちに釈放し、根拠のない告発を取り下げるべきだ。また、軍事法廷での民間人の裁判をやめるべきだ。

キラニさんは、政府と議会の関係調整を担当する大臣や国連大使などの要職に就いたこともあった。1月、公共の秩序を乱し、公務員を侮辱し、他人の業務を阻止した容疑に問われた。3月初旬の軍事法廷での審理で、捜査判事はキラニさんの拘置を命じた。捜査と裁判は、追って行うということだった。

アムネスティは、キラニ弁護士と警官とのやりとりを撮った動画を検証し、キラニさんの言動には何の問題もなかったことを確認している。軍当局によるキラニさんの起訴と裁判は、公正かつ公開の審理の権利を保証する市民的および政治的権利に関する国際規約に違反する。また、表現の自由の権利と弁護士が依頼人と面会する権利を損なう。

Your Excellency,

I wish to express my grave concern over the arbitrary detention and prosecution of lawyer Abderrazak Kilani by the Military Court of First Instance in Tunis. Civilians should never be prosecuted before military courts, as per international law that Tunisia has ratified. In addition, his detention is an assault on the right to legal representation as he was not only prevented from seeing his client but also prosecuted for trying to do so.

On 21 January, a military prosecutor charged Abderazzak Kilani with participating in a gathering that disturbs public order, insulting state officials, and obstructing the work of others, under Penal Code articles 79, 125 and 136 respectively. The charges are based on remarks made by Abderrazak Kilani to the police officers who barred him from entering Bougatfa Hospital, Bizerte, a city in the north of Tunis, on 2 January to visit his client, former Justice Minister, Noureddine Bhiri who had been transferred to the hospital by the authorities, a few days after his arbitrary arrest. Amnesty International has reviewed a video of the incident and considers neither Abderrazak Kilani’s actions nor his words to constitute threats, incitement to violence, or obstruction of police work. Instead, the video shows him calling on the police to uphold the law and not to expose themselves to potential prosecution for following what he considered unlawful orders to deny him access to his client.

At a hearing on 2 March, an investigative judge at the Military Court of First Instance in Tunis ordered Abderazzak Kilani’s imprisonment in Mornaguia prison, pending further investigation and potential trial. He faces up to seven years imprisonment if convicted.

Abderazzak Kilani’s prosecution by a military court violates Article 14 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which Tunisia has ratified. That article guarantees the right to “a fair and public hearing by a competent, independent and impartial tribunal established by law.” His zealous prosecution also undermines his rights to freedom of expression and his right to exercise his profession as a lawyer seeking to have access to his client.

I urge you to immediately ensure the release of Abderazzak Kilani and end his prosecution. I also call on the Tunisian authorities to end entirely the practice of prosecuting civilians before military courts.

Yours sincerely,
