Zied Ghanney

 

On Sunday, July 9, 2023, member of the parliament of 2019, Zied Ghanney, headed to Tunis-Carthage, intending to travel and return to his home and family. Yet, he found himself banned from traveling without prior warning or notice. Subsequent to the visit of the President of the Tunisian League for the Defense of Human Rights, Bassem Trifi, and Attorney Samia Abbou to the Court of First Instance in Tunis to examine the details of the decision and reasons for the travel ban, it was revealed that a decision was issued by the investigating judge on June 25, 2023, which imposed a travel ban on Zied Ghanney. This was after including his name along with several other former members of the parliament in a case filed by the executive authority, accusing him of conspiring against State Security on the grounds of participating in the plenary session of the Assembly of People’s Representatives, which was conducted virtually by the end of March 2022, almost a year since the President of the Republic had taken action to freeze all the parliamentary activities
