Tunisia: Hunger Strike and Censorship · Global Voices
Haitham Sabbah

Neila Charchour Hachicha writes that the PLM’s web site, which was the unique political website accessible in Tunisia has been censored today.
“However we want you to get the declaration of the 7 political personnalities who undertook today October 18th 2005 an unllimited hunger strike. We need the help of all friends to spread the message below”, Neila said.
The action to censor the Parti Libéral Méditerranéen (Mediterranean Liberal Party) seems to have come after the Party published CALL TO THE PUBLIC OPINION. In this call, representatives of associations from the civil society and political parties, decided to undertake an unlimited hunger strike as from October 18th, 2005. The hunger strikers launch a pressing call to all the democratic forces, associations, parties, independent personalities, to mobilize around this strike, bring any form of support to it and make succeed its claims, which are a prelude to Reforms and Democratic Change.
They claim:
1. Freedom of association by:
2.  Freedom for the press and the media by:
3. The immediate release of political prisoners
