At least 23 prisoners have died in Tunisia in recent weeks due to extreme heat, according to rights advocates. The Tunisian League for Human Rights documented the deaths based on information from doctors, lawyers, and relatives. Authorities have not released official figures, with an official stating that no death can be attributed to heat without forensic confirmation. Tunisia has experienced high temperatures, power outages, and water cuts, exacerbating conditions in overcrowded prisons.
