Abir Moussi, the leader of Tunisia's main opposition party, the Parti Destourien Libre (PDL), has been arrested outside the presidential palace in Carthage. She had come to lodge appeals against presidential decrees but was refused acceptance and acknowledgment. The reasons for her arrest remain unknown. Moussi is a fierce opponent of President Kais Said and the Ennahdha Islamists. President Said's government has been cracking down on the opposition, imprisoning several prominent figures, leading to accusations of authoritarianism and concerns about Tunisia's turn towards autocracy.
