Gafsa’s court defers the decision on the case of Gazala Elmhamdi

The court of first instance of Gafsa deferred the decision over the lawsuit raised by Gazala Elmhemdi- a political and rights activist- against Development Association in Elkssar on October 2d 2009 after being dismissed from work which she considered illegal.
Elmhemdi declared to Kalima Radio that she has begun work as banker in the Development Association since October 2008 under a work contract which is renewable automatically in October of every year according to its second article, but this contract was transgressed by the Association’s president who informed her last October of the non-renewal of the contract justifying the decision by the financial difficulties of the Association. She added that this dismissal was the result of pressures imposed on the Association president by regional authorities in Gafsa and because of her political activities and her support of Mining Basin’s inhabitants.
Finally, she stated that the dismissal and political police violence would not prevent her from continuing the struggle for the interests of the country and demand the right for employment for all.
