Last month, rapper Klay BBJ was jailed for six months for insulting the police at a concert in the resort of Hammamet. His co-performer on that occasion, Weld El 15, is on the run. He'd only just been given early release, thanks to public protest, from a two-year sentence for performing his song The Police Are Dogs. Meanwhile, rappers Mustapha Fakhfakh and Aymen El-Fikih will stand trial for "insulting public officials" and "affronting morals" during protests surrounding his trial. Tunisian authorities have been increasingly taking action against artists as Islamist influence grows.
