AI Summary:
Rached Ghannouchi was arrested in April 2023 and sentenced to one year in prison on charges of incitement. The 83-year-old has been the main rival of President Kais Saied. A court on Wednesday sentenced him to an additional 22 years in prison. Gaaloul said Saied’s government was being backed by countries that have “security and stability” in Tunisia as their top interest rather than democracy. A total of 41 people were charged in the case. The court also sentenced Lazhar Longo and Mohamed Ali Aroui to 15 years each. The court handed a 27-year sentence to journalist Chahrazad Akacha, who has fled abroad. The court also issued sentences for several journalists working for a digital content production firm called Instalingo. Saied suspended the Tunisian parliament in 2021 and dissolved it to rule.
