Tunisia warned over liberties ahead of UN information summit
An AFP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
Western countries have called on Tunisia to guarantee freedom of expression and independent media access during the UN World Summit on the Information Society it will host next month.
"We expect Tunisia, as host of this UN Summit, to demonstrate that it strongly upholds and promotes these rights," read a declaration moved by Canada and backed by the European Union, the United States and a dozen other countries at a preparatory meeting on Friday night.
Tunis will host the second phase of the summit from November 16 to 18, following a first phase held in Geneva in December 2003.
