Yes, resuming your studies is possible in some cases: President Kaïs Saïed has granted a presidential pardon to several pupils and students detained in cases linked to drug use and possession. The news was reported by realites.com.tn.

Who is covered by the pardon

The measure targets pupils and students detained in drug use and possession cases. The key point: these are cases with no involvement in trafficking. Those prosecuted for trafficking are therefore not covered by this pardon.

Why this measure now

According to realites.com.tn, the pardon was granted to mark the start of the school and university year. The stated aim is clear: to allow these young people to continue their studies rather than see them cut off for good.

What you can do if you are affected

The press has not announced any specific procedure or steps for families to follow. No list of beneficiaries and no timetable has been made public in the reported information. If you are in this situation, or someone close to you is, the right move is to contact your school or the relevant administration to find out the practical conditions for re-enrolment. We will update this article if official details are published.
