“The law must be applied equally to all people,” Head of State says


President of the Republic, Kais Saied, Wednesday, reiterated that «the law must be applied equally to all people,» stressing the need to rule on several cases which remain pending for so long, saying that “each time a court hearing is scheduled, the case gets postponed.»

During a meeting he had, at Carthage Palace, with Justice Minister, Leila Jafel, Kais Saied indicated that «the Tunisian people are waging a liberation war based on freedom, justice and respect for the rule of law.»

«Those who think they are above the law will not go unpunished» the Head of State warned, adding that «freedom in all countries across the world does not mean spreading chaos or enjoying broad impunity.»

The President of the Republic called on the Justice Minister “to ensure that the law be applied to all those who join foreign parties and get manipulated by known lobbies. These groups often abuse people and ironically play the role of the victim and the oppressed,» he pointed out.
