Tunisia sentences prominent opposition figure Abir Moussi to two years in prison

Published 14 hours ago• 1 minute read

A Tunisian court sentenced Abir Moussi, a prominent opponent of Tunisian President Kais Saied, to two years in prison on Thursday for criticising the electoral commission, her lawyer told Reuters.

Moussi, the leader of the Free Constitutional Party, has been imprisoned since 2023, after police arrested her at the presidential palace entrance on suspicion of assault intended to cause chaos, in what critics say was part of a crackdown on opposition politicians.
