The families of four incarcerated Tunisian politician are urging the International Criminal Court (ICC) to examine claims of political persecution, while their legal representative is appealing to the EU, UK, and US to impose sanctions on President Kais Saied’s administration.
President Saied faces allegations of imprisoning over 20 individuals solely for criticizing his policies and of engaging in severe repression against black migrants.
This call for international intervention comes on the heels of the recent arrest of Abir Moussi, the leader of the opposition Free Constitutional Party.
