The adviser to the head of the Ennahda movement stressed that there is no judicial body that ordered what he called the kidnapping and arrest of Noureddine Al-Buhairi, holding the President of the Tunisian Republic and the Ministry of the Interior responsible because they were behind the decision, which he said targeted a man with constitutional immunity.
He added that the deputy in the movement also enjoys rights under the Tunisian lawyers' law, and the lawyers' association was supposed to be informed of his arrest.
In a statement, the frozen Tunisian Parliament had strongly condemned the kidnapping of Ennahda MP Noureddine El-Behairi in front of his house.
The Ennahda movement also described the arrest of a Tunisian security force, its vice president, and his taking to an unknown destination as an "extrajudicial kidnapping and a dangerous precedent."
While the Ministry of the Interior confirmed the legality of the step taken, the Tunisian Bar Association said that what the Interior had done was supposed to be done by written order and not in the shadow of a blackout.
While describing what happened as a "kidnapping, detention and assault", Al-Shuaibi said - in his speech to an episode 31/12/2021) of the "Beyond the News" program - that they in the Ennahda movement are ignorant until this moment of the whereabouts of Noureddine Al-Buhairi, and demanded that a team be allowed to A medical doctor to go to his whereabouts in order to examine his health condition.

The president has no business
For his part, writer and political analyst Belhassan Yahyaoui ruled out that President Said had a role in what happened to the deputy head of the Ennahda party, because the president does not interfere in the work of the judiciary. Certain people are under house arrest, a law he said existed during the era of the two previous presidents, Caid Essebsi and Moncef Marzouki, and there were no calls for its abolition.
However, Riad Al-Shuaibi described the law as unconstitutional, and said that the constitutional movement was struggling to abolish its application.
According to Yahyaoui, the official authorities - especially the Ministry of Interior - should have issued an official position on what happened to the leader in the Ennahda movement, in order to refute the rumors that he said were spreading about the incident.
On the other hand, the Tunisian writer and political analyst, in his interview with the episode "Beyond the News", does not see that there is a danger to democracy in Tunisia, and considered that what happened after last July 25 is one of the expressions of the democratic situation, but he made it clear that the president faces challenges on both levels. economic and social.
It is reported that Ahmed Najib Chebbi, head of the political body of the Tunisian Amal Party, said that the kidnapping of Al-Buhairi represents a dangerous turning point in the crisis in Tunisia and an attempt to push its parties to confrontation, stressing that the measure represents a threat to civil peace and public security in a highly turbulent social and regional situation.
