Lawyers for Rached Ghannouchi, the former parliamentary speaker and leader of the Ennahdha movement, have raised serious concerns about his rapidly declining health. They report a “critical deterioration” in his condition and have been denied access to visit him. The legal team is also denouncing a complete lack of transparency regarding Ghannouchi’s current health status. This lack of information and restricted access have fueled worries about his well-being while in detention. The announcement was made public on July 23, 2026, by his defense committee. The situation is prompting questions about the treatment of political detainees in Tunisia. Further updates are expected as the legal team attempts to gain access and information.
