Tunisia’s jailed opposition leader Ghannouchi rushed to hospital

Rached Ghannouchi, the leader of the Ennahdha party, has been urgently transferred to a hospital due to a deterioration in his health, as announced by his party. The 84-year-old has been imprisoned since April 2023 in what supporters describe as a politically motivated campaign to crush dissent. Ennahdha renewed its call for his immediate release, emphasizing that the charges against him lack legal basis.
