An absentee yearlong term is imposed by a Tunisian judge on opposition leader Ghannouchi
According to his attorney Monia Bouali, a judge in Tunisia sentenced opposition figure Rached Ghannouchi, an opponent of President Kais Saied, to a year in prison in absentia on accusations of incitement.
Since being taken into custody by authorities in April of last year on charges of conspiring against state security, Ghannouchi, 81, has been incarcerated.
Ghannouchi, the head of the Ennahda party, made the decision last month to reject what he claimed were manufactured political trials by refusing to appear in court.
