1 | Tunisia: Pardoned Facebook User Released From Jail | Tonizia: Noafahana am-ponja i Jabeur Mejri |
2 | Jabeur Mejri, jailed for posting Prophet Muhammad cartoons on Facebook, was freed yesterday [March, 4]. | Voatazona am-ponja rehefa namoaka kisarisary manebaka an'ilay mpaminany Muhammad tao amin'ny Pejy Facebook i Abeur Mejri, izay noafahana omaly [4 Martsa] |
3 | In a statement, Mejri's support committee announced [fr] his release last night: | Nanambara [fr] izany fahafahany izany tany amin'ny mediam-bahoaka ireo komity mpanohana an'i Mejri, ny alin'ny nahafahana azy: |
4 | Detained since two years for expressing himself, Jabeur Mejri has been released. | Rehefa voatazona nandritra ny roa taona, dia noafahana i Jabeur Mejri. |
5 | The first prisoner of conscience in Tunisia since the events of January 2011 [ouster of former dictator Zeine en Abidin Ben Ali], has been released tonight | Noafahana io hariva io, ilay gadra voalohany noho ny fanehoan-kevitra hatramin'ny nanombohan'ny raharaha ny volana Janoary 2011 tao Tonizia |
6 | A #freejabeur protest in the capital Tunis on September , 2013 | hetsik'ireo mpanohana ny fanafahana an'i Jabeur tao amin'ny renivohitra Tunis ny Septambra, 2013 |
7 | Mejri has been in jail since March 2012. | Voasazy an-tranomaizina nanomboka ny Martsa 2012 i Mejri. |
8 | He was convicted to seven and half years in prison for publishing content “liable to cause harm to public order and morality”, “insulting others through public communication networks” and “assaulting public morals”. | Vaoheloka fito taona sy tapany an-tranomaizina izy noho ny famoahana votoaty “voasokajy ho fanohintohinana saina sy filaminam-bahoaka”, “fanompana ny hafa amin'ny alalan'ny tambajotra fifaneraserana” ary “hetraketraka amin'ny fitsipi-pitondratena”. |
9 | On February 19, the president's office announced a pardon for Mejri. | Namindra fo an'i Mejri ny fiadidiana ny filoham-pirenena ny 19 Febroary. |
10 | However, to the surprise of his supporters, an “embezzlement of funds” case dating back to July, 2011, kept the 30 year-old man in prison. | Saingy nahagaga ireo mpanohana azy indray anefa fa voatazona am-ponja, noho ny raharaha “fanodikodinam-bola” tamin'ny Jolay 2011 ity lehilahy 30 taona ity. |
11 | Under this case, Mejri is accused of stealing around 1600 Tunisian Dinars worth of metro tickets when he was working at a railways company. | Ao anatin'izany tranga izany, no niampangana an'i Mejri ho nangalatra 1600 dinars (vola toniziana), teti-bidin'ny tapakila an-damasinina (metro) fony izy mbola niasa tamina orinasa fitaterana an-dalamby. |
12 | However, an arrest warrant was only issued in late January, 2014, a couple of weeks before the announcement of his pardon. | Na izany aza, ny faran'ny volana Janoary 2014 vao nivoaka ny didy fampisamborana, herinandro vitsivitsy talohan'ny nanambarana ny famelana ny helony. |
13 | His support committee described the revival of the 2011 case as “judicial harassment”[fr]: | Nadikan'ny komity mpanohana azy ho “fanenjehana ara-pitsarana” [fr] ny fipoiran'ity raharaha 2011 ity indray. |
14 | Though this release represents news of great importance and a victory for all supporters of freedom of conscience and free speech, the support committee will remain active as long as all charges [embezzlement of funds] against Jabeur Mejri are not dismissed and as long as he is not rehabilitated. | Raha vaovao lehibe sy fandresena ho an'ireo mpiaro ny fahalalahana ara-panehoan-kevitra ity famotsorana ity, dia mbola hiasa hatrany kosa ireo komity mpanohana raha toa ka tazonina ireo vesatra nanenjehana an'i Jabeur Mejri, sy ny tsy famerenana ny zony. |
15 | We will not miss to communicate updates on this second case, which only had as an objective keeping Jabeur Mejri in prison, despite the presidential pardon | Mbola hanohy ny fampitam-baovao sy ny fampahalalàna mahakasika ny tohin'ity raharaha ity izahay; Izay tsy mikendry afa-tsy ny hitazomana am-ponja an'i Jabeur Mejri na dia eo aza ny famelan-keloky ny filoha. |
