Fatima Bouqtaya, spokeswoman for the court in the Tunis suburb of Ariana, said that the charges facing Rached Ghannouchi, the speaker of Tunisia’s now-dissolved parliament, involve breaching and attacking state security.
The Tunisian court has imposed a travel ban on Ghannouchi and 33 other individuals as part of an inquiry into alleged obstruction of justice in connection with the assassination in 2013 of two left-wing figures.
