Tunisian parliament revises election law days ahead of vote

Tunisia's parliament approved a law on Friday that strips a top court of its power to rule on election-related disputes, a move decried by protesters as anti-democratic just days before a presidential ballot. The judicial shift comes after Tunisia's administrative court in August
overturned decisions barring three presidential hopefuls from running in the October 6 election – a ruling later ignored by the country's electoral board, ISIE.
