This End Blasphemy Laws Project page documents Tunisia's criminalization of blasphemy through Articles 52 and 53 of the decree on the freedom of press, printing and publishing, carrying prison terms of up to three years, alongside penal code provisions against inciting religious hatred and offenses against public morality that are applied to the same conduct. It notes the 2022 constitution's declaration that Tunisia is part of the Islamic Umma and that the state must work to achieve the purposes of Islam, including the preservation of religion.

Reliability Tier2
A campaigning coalition's country page, cross-consistent with Human Rights First's and Carnegie's independent analyses of the same statutory provisions, but an advocacy compilation rather than the Tunisian government's own published penal and press-law texts, hence the middle tier. Citation
