Tunisian authorities crackdown on opposition party and detain leader.

Tunisian authorities have closed the headquarters of the opposition Ennahdha party and arrested its leader, Rached Ghannouchi, as part of a continuing crackdown on political opponents. Ennahdha was the largest party in Tunisia's parliament before it was dissolved by President Kais Saied in July 2021. Since early February, more than 20 political opponents and personalities have been arrested, including politicians, former ministers, businessmen, and trade unionists. Human rights groups have criticized the arrests, which targeted leading figures of the National Salvation Front, the main opposition coalition, which includes Ennahdha.
