Summary/Abstract: Restrictions on fundamental freedoms represent an ontological issue which hasalways been a subject of controversy at the social, legal and political level, even in the mostdemocratic countries. However, restrictions on civil liberties become greater during health crisesand pandemics, such as the COVID-19 crisis, as stringent measures are taken by governments tofight the disease outbreak. The situation in a developing country like Tunisia, where dictatorship hasjust come to an end, has become more complex and problematic than ever before, mainly becausethe national human rights commissions do not have a steady and stable activity and the economicsituation is so difficult that it is quite hard to impose a lockdown without curbing freedoms.
