According to reports from Tunisia, the authorities have banned meetings at all offices of the Islamist opposition party Ennahda, just hours after its leader was detained by police.
According to Ennahda sources, the Salvation Front opposition coalition’s headquarters have also been closed.
Rached Ghannouchi, the Ennahda leader, was arrested at his home in Tunis on Monday evening, according to an interior ministry official, and faces charges of “incitement.”
Three other senior Ennahda officials are also said to have been detained.
This year has seen a wave of arrests of prominent opponents of President Kais Saied, who assumed full executive powers almost two years ago.
