Tunisian police have arrested Jawher Ben Mbarek, a major critic of President Kais Saied, his sister said, bringing most of the main leaders of the National Salvation Front opposition movement into detention.
Police had surrounded Ben Mbarek's home on Wednesday and briefly detained his father, who is also a prominent dissident, on Thursday according to his sister, the lawyer Dahlia Ben Mbarek.
The police and interior ministry have not made any comment on the wave of arrests this month that has targeted prominent politicians, protest leaders, media figures and others critical of Saied.
