The government is not attacking the freedom of speech because these persons upon whom you talk, they have violated the law and the regulations. It is common in all countries around the globe, that if you want to laungh a TV channel or a Radio Station, you must follow some procedure of administrative and/or legal requirements. However, the owner of Kalima did not respect the law. Moreover, concerning the censorship of the newspaper, it is clear that if you violate law, you will be punished! It is not a question of limited freedom, it is question of people who are wanting to diminish their country and to make troubles to the regimes using all ways including telling foreigners incorrect news. In Tunisia, as well as whatever around the globe, you can do whatever you want but within the frameworks of the Constitution, laws and regulations. These people are breaking and violating the laws then they complaint about the government's attitude. This is unfair from their parts..you shoud not believe them.
