TUNIS: Tunisian authorities on Friday ‌ordered a one-month suspension of activities by the Human Rights League (LTDH), according to a statement from the group, which was among ​the civil society quartet that won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2015. No comment was immediately available on the matter from the government. The league said the move was part of a “wider pattern of increasingly systematic curbs on civil society and on free and independent voices.”
