Imprisoned Tunisian opposition leader Rached Ghannouchi has begun a hunger strike and stopped taking his medication, raising concerns about his health. Ghannouchi, incarcerated since April 2023, is a prominent figure in the Ennahda party. His defense team has alerted authorities to his rapidly declining condition while in custody. The reasons behind his hunger strike and cessation of medication remain unclear, though it is widely believed to be a protest against his imprisonment. This development adds to growing international scrutiny of Tunisia’s political climate and treatment of opposition figures. The news was first reported by Kapitalis, a Tunisian news outlet, highlighting the urgency of the situation. Further details regarding Ghannouchi's health and the response from prison officials are pending.
