Tunis: A Tunisian appeals court reduced the prison sentence of a TV broadcaster from one year to eight months on Friday, his lawyer told AFP. Borgen Bsais was initially sentenced to 12 months in prison after a ruling for “spreading false information” and “insulting or defaming others.” His lawyer, Nizar Ayed, said the appeals court in the capital Tunis had decided to reduce Bsais’ sentence from 12 months to eight months.
