Presidential polls in Tunisia have gotten off to a rocky start with critics denouncing a crackdown that has seen opponents of leader Kais Saied arrested, jailed and blocked from running. Tuesday was the deadline for candidates to register for the 6 October vote.
Prominent rival Abir Moussi, 49, head of the Free Destourian Party, was sentenced to two years in prison late Monday. He has already been in jail since October.
