U.S. State Department: Concerned about Tunisian President's Statements

U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price revealed today that the United States is deeply concerned about Tunisian President's comments regarding immigration and reports of arbitrary arrests. He urged Tunisian authorities to fulfill their commitments to protect the rights of refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants. Price's statement follows Tunisian President Kais Saied's denunciation of racism on Sunday and his mention of potential legal consequences for perpetrators, just ten days after announcing a crackdown on illegal immigration using language condemned by the African Union as "racist hate speech."
