Judicial sources confirmed to Al Jazeera that the investigative judge in what is known as the case of the "Secret Service of the Renaissance Movement" issued a decision banning the travel of the movement's head, Rashid Ghannouchi, and a number of other people.
In his comment, Ghannouchi told Reuters that he was not aware of any such decision.
For his part, Maher Al-Madhyoub, assistant to the dissolved parliament speaker, said that Rashid Ghannouchi is free and is not currently planning to travel until after the fall of the coup, as he put it.
It is noteworthy that the defense team of Chokri Belaid and Mohamed Brahmi had previously filed a complaint against leaders of the Ennahda movement, accusing them of being responsible for covering up the cases of political assassinations in Tunisia.
The Ennahda movement denies these accusations and considers them an attempt to distort the movement and target it politically, judicially, and in the media, and to employ the judiciary in the political conflict.
Ghannouchi had previously criticized President Kais Saied's decisions, including the presidential decree to amend the electoral commission law and replace its members.
In an interview with Al-Jazeera Net, the leader of the Ennahda movement expressed his categorical rejection of this decree "because it completely contradicts the constitution, specifically with its 70th chapter," which clearly states that the electoral system, including the electoral commission, cannot be changed by presidential decrees.
He added, "The dissolution of the electoral commission is one of the episodes of the president of the state to stifle the democratic project and finish it off, which he started by dissolving the parliament and the government, and then proceeded to dismantle the constitutional bodies such as the constitutional monitoring body for laws, the National Anti-Torture Authority, and the Supreme Judicial Council, and now has arrived to hammer the last nail in the coffin." democracy through the dissolution of the Electoral Commission.
