Tunis, Tunisia - The Tunisian government promised yesterday that it will no longer place prisoners in solitary confinement for more than 10 days, Human Rights Watch said.

Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East and North Africa director: "The Tunisian government�s decision is a welcome step toward ending the brutal practice of holding prisoners in prolonged isolation. We stand by the conclusions of our report, and look forward to gaining access to Tunisian prisons to help ensure that the government fully implements its promises."
