Tunis: Update on Rashid Ghannouchi's health in prison
Radhi Ghannouchi, the leader of the Tunisian Ennahda Movement, has been subjected to complete isolation in the hospital for three weeks, with repeated transfers to the hospital during his detention, which has raised concerns about his health, especially after he went on a five-day hunger strike. Ghannouchi was returned to the Mornaguia civil prison after a period in the hospital starting July 29, without being allowed to visit his lawyer or family, despite repeated requests from his defense team. Ghannouchi, who has been serving a prison sentence since April 2023 on charges related to "incitement against state security," is experiencing deteriorating health conditions. He considers his prosecution to be politically motivated, while Tunisian authorities affirm the independence of the judiciary and deny any involvement. Ten prisoners, including the head of the National Salvation Front, have expressed their concern and support for his recovery, amid ongoing detention and trial proceedings against opposition leaders.
