Jailed Tunisia opposition figure handed 12 years in third trial

TUNIS: Jailed Tunisian opposition figure Abir Moussi was sentenced to an additional 12 years in prison on Thursday under a law criminalizing any “attack aimed at changing the form of government,” her lawyer told AFP. A fierce critic of both President Kais Saied and the Islamist-inspired opposition Ennahdha party, Moussi has been in custody since her arrest in October 2023 outside the presidential palace where her party says she was seeking to lodge appeals against Saied’s decrees. The latest sentence was in connection to that incident.
