Standing with arms folded and dressed in T-shirts with the “Manich Msamah” (“I don’t forgive”) logo, several members of the collective Manich Msamah attended the press conference at the National Union of Tunisian Journalists on Sept. 15, two days after the so-called Administrative Reconciliation Act was passed by the Assembly of the Representatives of the People (Tunisian parliament).

“At the press conference, we wanted to send a clear message to the government and we want to challenge them: Our fight will not end with the passing of the law,” Aziz Amani, a Tunisian blogger and well-known activist of the 2011 revolution, told Al-Monitor.

He said, “We have posted a picture with the photos and names of the 117 parliament members who voted for the law. And if it will be applied, we will put up photos of all those who will be the beneficiaries of this amnesty law across the streets of Tunis. We cannot forgive the unforgiveable!”

Some 117 members of the 217 members of parliament voted in favor of the controversial law, most of whom were from the Nidaa Tunis and Ennahda parties. Nine voted against it, while the opposition, which considered the bill unconstitutional, boycotted the vote entirely. If applied, it will serve to pardon former dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali’s public servants, knowing that it has already been amended twice since its introduction in parliament in 2015. Before the amendments, the law proposed granting amnesty to corrupt businessmen, some of whom are still under investigation. That the law was amended at all can be considered Manich Msamah’s first victory — marking a new trend of Tunisian social movements in the aftermath of the 2011 revolution.
