Tunisian Opposition Leader Ahmed Nejib Chebbi Arrested After Conviction

Tunisian authorities arrested prominent opposition figure Ahmed Nejib Chebbi on Thursday. The arrest follows a recent court ruling that convicted him. Last week, the Tunis Court of Appeal sentenced Chebbi. Police detained him shortly after the judicial decision. Chebbi leads the opposition coalition known as the National Salvation Front. His arrest is part of a broader pattern where critics of President Kais Saied face legal action. The specific charges against Chebbi were not detailed in the initial arrest report. Tunisian officials have not yet issued a public statement on the matter.
