Ghannouchi's health worsens, defense warns
The Defense Committee for Rashid Ghannouchi, leader of the Tunisian Ennahda Movement, revealed a severe deterioration in his health inside Mornaguia Prison. Last week, he experienced fainting and intense exhaustion, amid the Tunisian authorities' refusal to allow visits and a lack of transparency regarding his condition. The committee confirmed that this constitutes a violation of his rights and increases the danger to his health, especially with a UN resolution calling for his release and an investigation into the violations. Ghannouchi, who is 84 years old, has been in prison since April 2023 after his arrest on political charges. His health has significantly worsened, with repeated fainting spells and hospital transfers. He faces multiple prison sentences totaling over sixty years for charges including foreign funding and security issues, but he denies the accusations and describes them as political.
