Tunisian opposition demands urgent statement on Rached Ghannouchi’s health

Tunisia’s opposition National Salvation Front has called on the authorities to issue an urgent official statement clarifying the health condition of Ennahda leader Rached Ghannouchi and lawyer Ahmed Nejib Chebbi. In an urgent statement issued on Sunday, the coalition said it was “following with deep concern” conflicting reports and rumours about the health of Ghannouchi, as well as reports regarding the health of National Salvation Front leader Ahmed Nejib Chebbi.
