Tunisia: Head of State reviews outcomes of Finance Minister's participation in 4th International Conference on Financing for Development
Tunis – President Kaïs Saïed met on Monday at Carthage Palace with Finance Minister Michket Slama Khaldi, where he was briefed on the outcomes of her meetings held on the sidelines of the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development, recently hosted in Seville, Spain. According to a statement from the Presidency of the Republic, the President stressed that the world today urgently needs new and alternative approaches—ones that completely break away from outdated models that have long contributed to global disparities in development. He added that countries still labeled as "developing," "emerging," or "fragile states" have yet to achieve real and meaningful growth their populations aspire to. They have been victims of an unjust global economic system and a series of crises they have not been responsible for. © Tap 2022 Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc. (

Rached Ghannouchi among Tunisian opposition leaders sent to prison
Several prominent Tunisian opposition leaders, including Rached Ghannouchi, have been sentenced to prison. The leader of Tunisia's Ennahda movement, one of a number of officials charged with conspiring against state security, was given a 14-year term. His political party was previously in government following the fall in 2011 of dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali as part of the Arab uprisings, but it relinquished power in 2013. Mr Ghannouchi has served as parliamentary speaker and is among many prominent opposition figures to have faced prosecution since current President Kais Saied took power six years ago. Mr Ghannouchi's defence team denied the conspiracy charges and said legal proceedings had not met the standards of a fair trial. 'All accusations were based on a false and contradictory testimony by a secret, anonymous witness who failed to present any evidence for his baseless and contradictory allegations, and who ultimately retracted most of them,' his lawyers said. The court sentenced 21 people to between 12 and 35 years in the mass trial. Ten others were already in custody, while 11 accused have fled the country. The judge overseeing the case issued arrest warrants for several party members tried in absentia, including Mr Ghannouchi's son Mouadh and former foreign minister Rafik Abdessalem. The other defendants faced charges including participating in an organisation linked to terrorist acts, inciting violence, attempting to overthrow the government, and recruiting and training individuals for terrorist purposes within Tunisia and abroad. Mr Ghannouchi, 86, has also been charged in relation to several other cases but refuses to appear before courts that he considers to be politically manipulated. He has already served prison sentences totalling more than 20 years, with money laundering among the convictions. His lawyers have denounced what they call 'unjustified judicial harassment' by authorities and are calling for the release of imprisoned Islamist leaders.
