Ennahda Leader Ghannouchi Hospitalized After Health Decline

Tunisia’s Ennahda movement says its leader Rached Ghannouchi, 84, was urgently transferred from prison to a hospital after suffering a sharp deterioration in health. The group insists his detention is arbitrary, citing a UN expert panel opinion that charges against him lack legal basis. Ghannouchi, sentenced to multiple prison terms in recent years, has refused to attend hearings, calling them politically motivated. Authorities have not commented, while opposition groups argue the cases are aimed at silencing critics of President Kais Saied.
