The African Court on Human and People’s Rights has ordered the Tunisian government to “eliminate all barriers” and allow detained political prisoners, including the former speaker of parliament Rached Ghannouchi, access to their legal representatives and doctors, their lawyers said.
Friday’s decision came after a case was filed with the court in Tanzania on behalf of the family members of the “detainees and deceased”, by Rodney Dixon, a British lawyer representing some of these families.
