While people on the move have no prospects of a safe and dignified life in Tunisia, the report warns of the continuation of a situation of lawlessness and impunity for the perpetrators of human rights violations, which represents a danger to social cohesion in Tunisian as such.

- An updated typology of human rights violations documented since June 2023 and those emerging since autumn 2023, with qualitative and quantitative data on these, the profile of the victims and the modus operandi.
