which some mailing lists did not accept.

United Nations Share Concerns about Human Rights in Tunisia
Kofi Annan answers to open letter from Civil Society

29 October 2005. Steve Buckley from the International Freedom of
Expression Exchange (IFEX) yesterday received a letter from UN secretary
general Kofi Annan in response both to an IFEX Tunisia Monitoring Group
letter of 2 September and to the WSIS civil society letter of 1 October
which had over 100 signatories. Annan makes clear that many of the serious
concerns of civil society, which the Tunisian government continues to
describe as unfounded, are shared at the highest level of the UN.
