POLICE in Tunisia have arrested Jaouhar Ben Mbarek, a prominent critic of President Kais Saied, his sister said, taking most of the main leaders of the National Salvation Front (NSFT) opposition movement into custody.
Police had surrounded Ben Mbarek’s home on Wednesday and briefly detained his father, who is also a well-known dissident, on Thursday, according to his sister Dalila Msaddek, who is a lawyer.
“Jaouhar was arrested late last night (Thursday) and we haven’t seen the charges against him,” Msaddek said on Friday, the AFP news agency reported.
Ben Mbarek is also the leader of a movement called Citizens Against the Coup.
