A Tunisian court on Tuesday sentenced several politicians, including opposition leader Rached Ghannouchi, to prison for "plotting against the state," local media reported. Ghannouchi, head of the Ennahdha party, received 14 years—his party said he boycotted the trial. Around 20 were prosecuted, including ex-presidential aide Nadia Akacha and ex-foreign minister Rafik Abdessalem, Ghannouchi’s son-in-law. Both, living abroad, were sentenced in absentia to 35 years.
