Mounir Gharbi

Mounir Gharbi is an Algerian lawyer currently facing prosecution over Facebook posts and a 2020 courtroom statement linked to detainees’ rights. In 2025, he was sentenced in absentia to prison and a fine, and in December 2025 his case was referred to trial after earlier judicial decisions were upheld. He was acquitted in one related case in February 2026, but other proceedings remain ongoing. His detention status is unclear, with reports indicating he has faced judicial proceedings but no confirmed sustained detention beyond brief procedural measures exceeding 48 hours.
