Tunisia: death sentence for four accused for the assassination of opponent Belaïd in 2013. The 48-year-old lawyer and vocal critic of the Islamo-conservative Ennahdha party was murdered in his car in front of his home on February 6, 2013.
Jihadists allied with the Islamic State (IS) group claimed responsibility. These two assassinations shocked Tunisia and constituted a turning point for this country, cradle of the Arab Spring, by causing a deep political crisis.
