Tunisian politician Abir Moussi, leader of the Free Destourian Party (PDL), has begun a hunger strike and vowed silence until voting concludes in a partial legislative election scheduled for June 28th. The protest is centered around the election taking place in the El Kabaria constituency. Moussi announced her actions in a letter to the public, detailing her intent to maintain the strike until polls close. The move signals strong opposition to the current political climate and the conduct of the election. Details surrounding the specific reasons for Moussi’s protest remain limited, but it is a significant demonstration ahead of the by-election. This action is likely to draw attention to the PDL and its concerns regarding the electoral process.
