Ghannouchi Starts Hunger Strike in Tunis Hospital
The article focused on the case of Rached Ghannouchi, leader of the Tunisian Ennahda Movement, who has entered an open hunger and medicine strike in hospital to protest his complete isolation and deprivation of communication with his family and lawyer since his transfer to the hospital on July 29. This is considered part of an escalation in his protests against his detention conditions, as he faces political accusations and multiple court sentences in various cases. The defense committee describes his condition as suffering from torture and a violation of his basic rights. This deterioration in his health status complicates the situation, with the committee warning about the serious risk to his life and calling on authorities to allow visits. It is worth noting that Ghannouchi has been detained since April 2023 on political charges amid escalating tensions between the opposition and the Tunisian presidency, which has suspended the parliament and dissolved the judiciary council under measures that the government deems necessary to save the state, while the opposition views them as restrictions on freedoms and a consolidation of dictatorial rule.
