Says the October verdicts are appealable

A Tunisian military court sentenced opposition leader Olfa Hamdi to four years in prison on 21 October in two cases over Facebook posts, which prosecutors called a plot against state security and incitement of soldiers to disobey orders. Her lawyer, Akram Moussa, said the court fined her 40,000 dinars, about €12,000. Al Jazeera reported the fines at 80,000 dinars, about $26,000.
