Rached Ghannouchi Starts Hunger Strike in Hospital
Rhedha Ghannouchi, the head of the Tunisian Ennahda Movement, has experienced a deterioration in his condition after being subjected to complete isolation in the hospital for the past 12 days since his transfer. He has gone on hunger strike and refused medication in protest against being barred from visiting his family and lawyer, despite their repeated requests. Ghannouchi, who is 85 years old, suffers from a serious health condition and has been imprisoned since his arrest in April 2023 on charges related to "incitement against state security," which he denies and considers politically motivated. The defense team has held the Tunisian authorities responsible for his deteriorating condition and warned of serious complications that could threaten his life, calling for him to be allowed visits from his family and lawyer.
