Crackdown: Tunisia's President Detains Ennahda Leader and Shuts Down Opposition Parliament

Tunisian police raided the Ennahda party headquarters and arrested its leader Rached Ghannouchi, a prominent critic of Tunisian President Kais Saied.
Ghannouchi has been detained before on suspicion of money laundering and terrorism financing, charges his supporters say are politically motivated.
President Saied has shut down the Ennahda-led parliament, detained two dozen opposition figures, and granted himself broad powers in what critics call an authoritarian power grab.
Ennahda's unpopularity and association with post-revolution government corruption and incompetence has made it an easy target for Saied's crackdown on dissent.
There are growing concerns over Saied's consolidation of power amid Tunisia's deteriorating economy and democracy.
