Tunisian police on Monday detained Ennahda party leader Rached Ghannouchi, the most prominent critic of president Kais Saied, his party said, a move marking an escalation of a campaign of arrests that has targeted many high-profile opponents of Saied.
Hours after Ghannouchi's arrest, police raided the party headquarters and evacuated all present to start a search that will take days, after showing a judicial warrant, party officials told Reuters.
