\n

This policy paper highlights three constitutional breaches of Article 230: inequality before the law and rights to fair trial, the violation of the presumption of innocence, and the use of anal examinations as evidence of a practice which considered a form of torture. It also examines the impact of Article 230, which goes beyond discrimination, arbitrary arrests, and forced confessions. Additionally, it tackles the financial and social costs that burden the state budget and prison overcrowding due to the application of Article 230. Finally, it also proposes a multifaceted approach that the Tunisian state can adopt in its way of repealing Article 230 of the penal code.<\/span><\/p>\n
