The National Salvation Front in Tunisia demanded the suspension of the trials that it described as the unfair photo against political leaders, including the head of the Renaissance movement, Rashid Ghannouchi, and renewed the condemnation of the trial that will take place from today, Tuesday.
The front, which is headed by Ahmed Naguib Al -Shabi, said that, based on its adherence to everyone in a fair trial, led by the right of the defendants to attend in a public session to defend themselves, condemns again this trial that will take place remotely and that is based on deviation by law and arbitrariness in its application, according to a statement.
The front emphasized that the accountability of any political official “can only be in circumstances and climates in which freedom of the word, proper symmetry and transparency are available, and it is not resorted to the judiciary unless violations of the laws of previous situation are proven and away from every employment of the judiciary.”
The anti -trial front, which is faced by Tunisian President Qais Saeed, considered that all conditions are “today and will be fulfilled only by the return of democracy, the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary.”
She called for the suspension of these trials and the release of all political detainees, and appealed to all political and civil forces adhering to the state of law “to stress their pressure to stop these trials and restore the climates that meet for everyone the conditions of a fair trial.”
Today, Tuesday, a number of political leaders, including the President of the Renaissance Movement, Sheikh Rashid Ghannouchi, former Prime Minister Youssef Al -Shahid, and the former President of the President of the Republic, Nadia Okasha, are tried before the Terrorism Resistance Department at the Tunis Court of First Instance to sue themselves in order to “conspire against the internal security of the state.”
On April 19, a Tunisian court issued prison sentences ranging between 13 and 66 years of opposition leaders, businessmen and lawyers who were following as known as the “conspiracy issue.”
The Tunisian authorities are trying 40 political, media and human rights figures on charges of “conspiring against state security and forming a terrorist organization”, in return, the opposition confirms that the issue is political par excellence and aims to suppress votes that reject the exceptional measures imposed by President Qais Saeed since July 2021.
