“Police arrested prominent Tunisian opposition figure Ayachi Hammami at his home on Tuesday to enforce a five-year prison term on a conviction for conspiracy against state security, his family told Reuters. An appeals court handed down jail terms of up to 45 years last week to dozens of opposition leaders including Hammami, business figures and lawyers on charges of conspiracy to overthrow President Kais Saied. Critics called the sentences a sign of Saied’s increasingly authoritarian rule. … The opposition says the charges are fabricated and aim to crush Saied’s critics through the judiciary.” (12/02/25)
