Prominent Tunisian journalist Zied el-Heni has been arrested by an internal squad in plain clothes who stormed his home in a suburb of the capital Tunis, according to local media, amid an ongoing crackdown on critics of President Kais Saied.
El-Heni, the host of a daily programme at Radio IFM, was detained late Tuesday night after a judge ordered that he be held in custody ahead of his trial on a charge of insulting Tunisia’s president.
