Tunisia's opposition leader goes on hunger strike

Weekend

Available for over a year

Rached Ghannouchi's daughter Yosra has told the Âé¶¹Éç that her father does not believe he will get justice in Tunisian courts as they are under the control of President Kais Saied. Ghannouchi was speaker of the Tunisian parliament until the legislature was dissolved by President Saied in 2021. Since then Saied has ruled by decree. Yosra Ghannouchi has been speaking to Weekend's Krupa Padhy.
