Saif Eddine Makhlouf arrested by plainclothes officers as he attempt to attend court hearing against himself.
Seif Eddine Makhlouf, an opposition member of Tunisia’s parliament, was briefly detained when he tried to attend a court hearing against himself in the capital, his lawyer has said.
Makhlouf, leader of the conservative Karama party and a frequent critic in parliament of President Kais Saied, who seized extra powers in July, was arrested by plain clothes agents as he tried to enter the military court in Tunis on Friday, his lawyer Anouar Awled told news agencies.
The agents took Makhlouf away in a car, a video Awled posted online showed.
