A leader of Tunisia's Islamist-inspired opposition party Ennahdha was arrested Saturday, his party said in a statement on Facebook.
The party, whose chief Rached Ghannouchi has been in jail since April last
year, did not give any reason for the arrest.
"Ajami Lourimi, the secretary-general of the Ennahdha Party, was detained
without judicial permission along with two companions in Borj Al Amrim,"
around 37 kilometres (23 miles) west of the capital Tunis, the statement said.
Ennahdha was the largest party in parliament until President Kais Saied
dissolved the legislature in July 2021.
