Fri 24 June 2022:

Former Ennahda party leader and prime minister Hamadi Jebali was detained by Tunisian authorities on Thursday, his family said.

According to a statement made by his family and put on Facebook, Jebali’s phone and his wife’s phone were taken by police in the city of Sousse, who also took him to an unknown location.

Regarding Jebali’s detention, the Interior Ministry declined to comment. Without providing any information, the government scheduled a news conference for Friday.

“The president is personally responsible for Jebali’s physical and psychological well-being,” his family said in the Facebook post, and called on civil society and human rights organizations “to stand up against these repressive practices”.

Following a political crisis, Jebali resigned as Prime Minister in 2013.
