Tunisia’s jailed opposition leader Ghannouchi rushed to hospital

Tunisian opposition leader Ghannouchi has been urgently transferred to a hospital due to a sharp deterioration in his health. He has been imprisoned since April 2023, with his party describing the detention as politically motivated. Ghannouchi suffers from chronic illnesses and requires constant family care and attention due to his advanced age. His party has renewed its demand for his immediate release, citing his constitutional right to necessary healthcare and international treaties ratified by Tunisia.
