The family of Tunisia's jailed Ennahda leader and former Parliament Speaker Rached Ghannouchi said Monday they have not heard from him in nearly a week.

His daughter Soumaya Ghannouchi said in a video on X that lawyers had tried to visit her father at Mornaguia Prison, north of Tunis, over the past week.

"But they were told by prison authorities that Ghannouchi had been transferred to hospital," she added.

Soumaya said her mother and defense lawyers went to the hospital to see him but were not allowed access.

"The family has not received any information about his health condition," she added.
