Maher Al-Madhyoub, assistant speaker of the dissolved parliament in Tunisia, said today, Saturday, that the Parliamentarians’ Human Rights Committee of the Inter-Parliamentary Union agreed to consider a complaint submitted by Parliament Speaker Rashid Ghannouchi.
And he added in a post on his Facebook account, "The committee requested clarifications about the reasons for freezing Ghannouchi's bank account and preventing him from traveling and the reasons why he was summoned by the judicial authorities to hear him on the nineteenth of this month."
Al-Madhyoub announced on July 11, 2022, that he had filed a complaint with the Human Rights Committee of the Inter-Parliamentary Union about what he called “gross and serious violations” against Ghannouchi, and called on human rights and humanitarian organizations and the “Friends of Tunisia” to stand firmly with Ghannouchi and “denounce all violations of his and his rights.” his family,” according to the letter.
The assistant speaker of the dissolved parliament considered his complaint "to save the life of Ghannouchi and 120 deputies, who were taken hostage, to implement the project of the President of the Tunisian Republic to change the state body, pass the referendum and disrupt democracy."
It is noteworthy that a Tunisian judge issued a decision to interrogate (the leader of the Ennahda movement) Ghannouchi on July 19 in the case of the "Namaa Tounes" association, which was preceded by a judicial decision to ban several people, including Ghannouchi, from traveling.
Since July 25, 2021, Tunisia has been experiencing a severe political crisis when President Said began imposing exceptional measures, including dismissing the government and appointing others, dissolving Parliament and the Judicial Council, and issuing legislation by presidential decrees.
Saeed also decided to hold a popular referendum on a new constitution on July 25, and to bring the parliamentary elections forward to December 17.
