United Nations Expert Arrested in Tunisia for Using an RTL-SDR
Citizen of the said country here.<p>&gt; As Kartas&#x27; business in Tunisia was to present his findings on the arms embargo violations, other experts believe that the arrest is politically motivated, and that ownership of the RTL-SDR for espionage is simply being used as an excuse.<p>No kidding. The government is failing on several fronts; and is trying to gain popularity by making fake moves (like finding and arresting a spy). They did that to several business man. The good news, they released them (no charges, no evidence, no nothing). The bad news, some of them were released only a year later. They had no right to a lawyer or a trial during that time. It was &quot;investigation&quot;.<p>This is possible because technically speaking the country is under martial-law which keeps getting renewed every month. The sad thing people are quite busy these days trying to find gas, milk and basic necessities. The interest on political and freedom-related news is way down from the first few years of the said revolution.<p>It is funny because looking at the pictures, some parts of Tunisia are now in more dire straits than Venezuela. It is just not getting the media coverage.
