Tunis — The Tunisian Association for Managers of Archives called on Friday to protect document that can serve as "evidence of corruption within State's institutions."

The association requests the promulgation, as soon as possible, of "a presidential decree" for the sequestration of files and documents that can serve as evidence of corruption in State's institutions "including the Presidency of the Republic, banks and Tunisie telecom", in order to protect the rights of the Tunisian people.

The association also calls to involve managers of archives in the commission of inquiry into corruption and embezzlement to make the most of their experiences and expertise in the management of archives.

Managers of archives also call for "the removal of the present director of the national archives" who, according to the statement, "does not meet the conditions of article 20 of the decree organising this institution."
