Most people we have met during our visit noted an overall improvement of the situation of human rights defenders compared to before the Revolution. Defenders enjoy a higher degree of freedom of expression, freedom of peaceful assembly and freedom of association than they did during the Ben Ali era. However, the security situation is less predictable than it used to be, and the security of defenders has deteriorated in a number of places as a result of exercising their fundamental rights, including in urban areas outside Tunis.
