The Tunis Court of Appeal confirmed today, Monday, May 20, 2019, the court decision pronounced on February 23, 2016, allowing the association Shams for the Defense of the Rights of Homosexuals to operate legally.

In February, the State Litigation Officer appealed this decision, declaring that “the activities of this association are contrary to the principles of Muslim society and that Islam prohibits these practices, which are also prohibited by Article 230 of the Penal Code.”

Article 230 prohibits sodomy and exposes the person who practices it to a sentence ranging from 3 months to 3 years in prison.

Last week, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights sent a letter to the Tunisian government, expressing concern over the attempted closure of the Shams association, saying that this undermines the universal values ​​of the people. human rights and is contrary to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), ratified by Tunisia on 18 March 1969.

This morning, the appeal court dismissed the appeal by the government, which certainly had other things to do than try to close a human rights organization, and upheld the decision of the lower court of Tunis.

Shams will therefore continue its activities legally and will continue to defend the rights of homosexuals and the LGBTQ community in Tunisia, which the government, while claiming to be progressive, still hesitates to defend.
