Mohamed Ghannouchi, a prominent figure in Tunisia’s opposition and former presidential candidate, is marking two years of imprisonment in a Tunisian jail. His detention has sparked international concern among his allies who claim his continued incarceration is unjust. Ghannouchi’s legal team argues that he is being held solely for expressing political views and participating in peaceful protests. The accusations against him center around charges related to alleged involvement in the 2011 revolution, which ultimately led to the removal of former President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. His supporters highlight his role as a leader during the Arab Spring uprising and argue that he has been unfairly targeted for political reasons rather than legal violations. The international community continues to call for Ghannouchi’s release, highlighting the importance of upholding democratic principles and protecting human rights in Tunisia.
