After 59 days of unjust imprisonment, Lyes Touati has finally been acquitted - 59 days of waiting, mobilization, solidarity and determination.

This acquittal is a victory for all those who reject arbitrariness. It reminds us that citizen mobilisation and solidarity are never in vain.

Today, the feeling of relief prevails, but so does the conviction that the defence of freedoms remains an ongoing struggle.

Freedom, justice and dignity.

59 يومًا من الانتظار، التعبئة، التضامن والإصرار. هذا التبرئة هي انتصار لكل من يرفض الظلم. يذكّرنا بأن التعبئة الشعبية والتضامن لا يذهبان أبدًا سدى. اليوم، يغلب الشعور بالارتياح، ولكن أيضًا الإيمان بأن الدفاع عن الحريات يبقى معركة دائمة. حرية، عدالة وكرامة.
