Dear sir/*******
The Editor in Chief of ******

Greetings,

We have read in your newspaper ****** issued yesterday a documentary report on page ***** titled"************************."

As we in the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information know, and we have a lot of documents on our website which were issued by civil society organizations in Tunisia, and also materials issued by international and Arab organizations which contain a different point of view to that of the Tunisian's government which paid for that ad in your newspaper.

As the freedom of press and expression which we all call for means, as part of its value, offering different points of views about the same issues, this gives the civil society in Tunisia and those who are concerned about issues of the freedom of opinion, expression, civil rights and other political freedoms, the right to make it clear to the international, Arab and Egyptian public, how human rights deteriorated and suffered from violations at the hands of the Tunisian government.

As this is the case we are asking you to give the chance and space in your newspaper ***** to publish a number of issues and concerns of our colleagues from Tunisia who are working in civil society organizations and concerned about the freedom of speech and expression.

And certainly we will be glad to provide you with a number of those publications which carry different points of views than those of the Tunisian government and you can have more information by visiting our website: http://www.hrinfo.net/tunisia

We do thank you for your cooperation and we hope for more for the sake of freedom of opinion and expression.

Please do accept our respect and gratitude,

Gamal Eid
The Executive Director
The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information
