Amnesty International called on the Tunisian authorities to "end the political persecution of parliamentarians and respect their rights to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association."
This came in a statement issued by the international organization, on Friday, of which Anatolia viewed a copy.
The organization called for the protection, promotion and realization of these rights, in line with Tunisia's international human rights obligations.
A week ago, dozens of MPs, including Parliament Speaker Rached Ghannouchi (head of the Ennahda Movement), were referred to the Anti-Terrorism Squad for investigation.
The organization considered that "these politically motivated criminal investigations (against MPs) amount to judicial harassment and are an attempt to stifle the peaceful exercise of the rights to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association by members of Parliament, which was initially suspended by President Saeed and now dissolved by decree."
"The investigations are the latest in a series of deeply disturbing repressive moves by the Tunisian authorities and must be stopped immediately," she noted.
On March 30, the Assembly of the Representatives of the People held a virtual plenary session, during which it voted in favor of canceling the "exceptional" decisions of Tunisian President Kais Saied.
Hours after the parliament session, Saeed announced the dissolution of parliament, claiming to preserve the state and its institutions, considering that the parliament meeting and what was issued by it was a "failed coup attempt."
Tunisia has been suffering from a severe political crisis, since last July 25, when Said then began imposing exceptional measures, including: freezing the powers of Parliament, issuing legislation by presidential decree, and dissolving the Supreme Judicial Council.
