Le pr\u00e9sident de la principale association LGBT (lesbiennes, gays, bisexuels, transgenres) de Tunisie a annonc\u00e9 mardi avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 condamn\u00e9 \u00e0 un an de prison pour une publication sur Facebook jug\u00e9e blasph\u00e9matoire envers le proph\u00e8te Mahomet, bien qu’il d\u00e9mente en \u00eatre l’auteur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ab\u00a0La chambre correctionnelle du tribunal de premi\u00e8re instance de Tunis vient de me condamner \u00e0 un an de prison ferme, mille dinars d’amende (300 euros) et deux ans de contr\u00f4le administratif pour avoir blasph\u00e9m\u00e9 le proph\u00e8te Mahomet\u00a0\u00bb, a \u00e9crit Mounir Baatour, pr\u00e9sident de l’association Shams, sur sa page Facebook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
M. Baatour vit en France apr\u00e8s avoir quitt\u00e9 la Tunisie en 2019 \u00e0 la suite de plaintes et de menaces en raison d’une publication sur Facebook lui attribuant des propos pr\u00e9sentant Mahomet comme un obs\u00e9d\u00e9 sexuel. Il d\u00e9ment cat\u00e9goriquement avoir tenu de tels propos. Cr\u00e9\u00e9e en 2015, l’association Shams (\u00ab\u00a0soleil\u00a0\u00bb en arabe) milite pour la d\u00e9p\u00e9nalisation de l’homosexualit\u00e9 en Tunisie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le pr\u00e9sident tunisien Kais Saied s’oppose \u00e0 une d\u00e9p\u00e9nalisation de l’homosexualit\u00e9, mais est \u00e9galement oppos\u00e9 aux incarc\u00e9rations sur la base de l’orientation sexuelle. Depuis la r\u00e9volution de 2011, les militants LGBT sont sortis de l’ombre en Tunisie, o\u00f9 des ONG locales d\u00e9fendent ouvertement les droits de cette communaut\u00e9, ce qui est encore relativement rare dans le monde arabe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Human Rights Watch (HRW) avait exprim\u00e9 en 2020 sa \u00ab\u00a0profonde inqui\u00e9tude\u00a0\u00bb face aux poursuites judiciaires contre la communaut\u00e9 LGBT en Tunisie, notamment apr\u00e8s la condamnation en juin de deux hommes \u00e0 deux ans de prison ferme pour sodomie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
