Tunis: A Tunisian court handed a British DJ a one year jail term in absentia on Thursday after he played a remixed recording of the Muslim call to prayer, a judicial source said.
The court dismissed charges against the nightclub owner and an organiser behind the event in the coastal resort, but the prosecution has appealed saying the two should have checked what the DJ would be playing, he added.
On Monday, authorities announced they had closed the nightclub.
The DJ has issued an apology, as have the organisers of the event.
