In exchange for huge sums of money
Employees of Tunisian prisons engage in drug dealing in prison
Tunisian prisons
Tunis – Hayat El-Ghanemy
Many Tunisian and international reports and delegations asserted that Tunisian prisons violate all international standards, notably overcrowded as some of them at 200% of their real capacity, while authorities say one third of the inmates are there only for marijuana use.Under Tunisia’s Law 52, authorities can carry out random urine tests that can lead to convictions for marijuana use or possession and an automatic one-year prison sentence. Law 52 convictions have been on the rise, going from just a few hundred to several thousand over the last 15 years. But parliament is set to debate reforms that could cut down on overcrowding. Overcrowding remains a major problem in Tunisian prisons and preventive detention centres, a report of the Office of the United Nations Higher Commissioner for Human Rights concluded.According to local and international reports, alcohol, cigarettes and drugs are surreptitiously exchanged inside prisons, but that many of the prisons employees are involved in the drug dealing network in prisons, and they are in charge of selling drugs to prisoners for huge sums of money.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
