Tunisia: Abir Moussi Continues Hunger Strike in Front of the Ministry of the Interior, the Latter Seizes the Prosecution

The president of the Free Destourian Party (PDL), Abir Moussi, criticizes those who will go on Monday, October 17 to the independent higher authority for elections (ISIE) to submit their candidacy file for the legislative election on December 17 next.

In a post published this Monday, on her official Facebook page, Moussi writes that “traitors to the nation are starting to flock today to an illegal body to stand as candidates in illegal elections and obtain cardboard seats, to play the role of sidekicks in a playโ€.

She denounced โ€œserial crimes, committed before the eyes of the world in the face of the silence of the national and international human rights system, and of the institutions monitoring the proper application of electoral standardsโ€.

The president of the PDL, who is beginning her third day of hunger strike, in front of the headquarters of the Ministry of the Interior, has announced her intention to take legal action to defend her rights, those of her party and the fatherlandโ€.

The head of the information department at the Interior Ministry, Faker Bouzghaya, said on Sunday that the Interior Ministry had notified the prosecution that Abir Moussi was on a hunger strike outside her headquarters to see if the law is broken.

The necessary decisions will be taken on the orders of the prosecution, he said.

He added, in a statement to TAP, that the mode of protest should not affect public order, and the work of officials and shopkeepers at the scene.

Faker Bouzghaya again indicated that “the Ministry of the Interior had installed security barriers around its headquarters not to prevent demonstrations, but to protect itself from terrorism”, “it is a sovereign and sensitive ministry”, he said.

“The Ministry of the Interior respects the freedom and the right to demonstrate, no restrictions have been imposed on demonstrators, as it works to protect protesters and apply the law to all, without discrimination between political and social parties”, he pointed out.
