Tunisian authorities have ordered the closure of the Ennahda movement's headquarters, hours after the arrest of its leader.

Tunisian authorities have decided to close all headquarters of the Ennahda movement, while police have closed the headquarters of the Khalas Front.

The move comes hours after the arrest of Ennahda leader Rachid Ghannouchi, who is also the speaker-elect of the country's parliament, but the president removed him in a white coup in July 2021 and held early elections last year in which very few citizens participated.

Salahaddin Mohammed Bahaaddin, Secretary-General of the Kurdistan Islamic Union, said in a tweet: Unfortunately, we hear of the raid on the house of Sheikh Rachid Ghannouchi, the leader of the Ennahda movement and the speaker of the Tunisian parliament, and arrest him.

The Secretary-General of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has condemned the ugly behavior of the Tunisian authorities against an intellectual and thinker of the Wasti during the nights of Ramadan.

The Secretary General of the Kurdistan Islamic Union expressed his concern that the situation in Tunisia has reached the point where the hands of vandals and violence reach the symbols of their country and he called for their release.
