Human rights investigators have documented systematic abuse of African migrants by Tunisian security personnel, including forced deportations to remote border zones without provisions or identification. Amnesty International recorded 120 testimonies describing beatings, sexual assault, and arbitrary detention between February 2023 and June 2025, with researchers attributing the violence to racially motivated policies following inflammatory statements by President Kais Saied regarding demographic threats from sub-Saharan populations.

Authorities have expelled tens of thousands to Libya and Algeria since June 2023, abandoning families in desert areas after confiscating personal belongings. The government suspended multiple advocacy organizations assisting displaced persons, including groups whose operations were halted on Friday, October 5, and throughout late October.

European officials provided 100 million euros for border enforcement under a 2023 agreement credited with reducing irregular Mediterranean crossings by 80 percent, though monitoring bodies have questioned oversight of humanitarian protections amid persistent allegations of state-sanctioned mistreatment.
