A/HRC/8/52 page 120 4. Views expressed by the State under review on the outcome and concluding remarks 265. The Minister of Justice and Human Rights, Mr. Béchir Tekkari, concluded by thanking all speakers, including the members of civil society. He recalled and confirmed that Tunisia was firmly committed to following up the recommendations of the Human Rights Council. A body had been established to ensure follow-up to those recommendations, and Tunisia had reported on its most recent activities to implement them. He further noted that the invitation to the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism did not preclude invitations to other special rapporteurs, particularly the Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. In that connection, he assured the Council that there was no torture in Tunisia; rather, there were instances of torture that were duly prosecuted by the justice system. He also affirmed that there was no immunity in respect of acts of torture. 266. With regard to the case of the journalist mentioned during the debate, he said that the journalist in question had been detained for reasons that had to do with his status as a journalist. Indeed, no one was detained in Tunisia for his or her opinions. However, one’s profession was not a source of immunity for any offences a person might commit. With regard to Internet access, he recalled that the Tunisian Government had been accused of sentencing young people for having used Internet websites to create explosives. One of the youths in question had been pardoned and had subsequently died in an incident linked to a terrorist act. 267. The Minister said that there were still many obstacles to be overcome, particularly with regard to the exploitation of religion and religious extremism. Terrorism posed a major challenge, but it would not hold Tunisia back and would be dealt with through the law. If there were still inadequacies in Tunisia’s counter-terrorism legislation, the Government was prepared to rectify them. 268. The Minister said that, at the domestic level, Tunisia would pursue and strengthen its positive collaboration with civil society, which must play a role in the promotion of human rights. 269. The Minister concluded his statement by expressing the hope that he had contributed to the success of the universal periodic review exercise, which he believed to be useful, but which must be followed by self-study at the national level, an effort in which Tunisia, which had made human rights a strategic choice, was already engaged.
