 During the rule of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, the regime filtered gay and lesbian information and dating pages.After the Tunisian Revolution and the 2011 Tunisian Constituent Assembly election, the then-Minister for Human Rights and Transitional Justice, Samir Dilou, remarked on national television that homosexuality was not a human rights issue, but a condition in need of medical treatment.Amnesty International condemned this statement.
