State officials do not respect the law and that the situation in the country is in danger of deteriorating further, said president of the National Salvation Front, Ahmed Nejib Chebbi,.
Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday to shed light on the detention of Ennahdha leader Sahbi Atig, he added that while the country is facing a tough economic and social crisis, state officials are being sacked on the basis of their political and ideological affiliations.
Regarding the detention of Sahbi Atig, the head of the Front pointed out that the case was brought on the basis of a defamatory denunciation in 2016.
He regretted that the case against Sahbi Atig was damaging his political career.
For his part, Samir Dilou, a member of Sahbi Atig’s defence committee, pointed out that his client’s case file is empty, which explains his decision to go on hunger strike.
Dilou and Sahbi Atig’s wife blamed the examining magistrate for the deterioration of his health, claiming that he had been hospitalised seven times in less than a month.
