Specialized Terrorism Court in Tunisia Postpones Trial of Ennahdha Movement Suspects
May 9, 2026
The specialized criminal chamber dealing with terrorism cases near the First Instance Tribunal in Tunis has decided to postpone the trial of the accused in the case of "Ennahdha's Secret Apparatus" to the next session on May 15, 2026, to allow for the interrogation of the suspects.
The criminal chamber resumed the examination of this highly publicized case, known as "Ennahdha's Secret Apparatus." The list of defendants includes over thirty individuals, including Ennahdha movement president Rached Ghannouchi, as well as leaders Ali Laarayedh and Fathi Baldi, who are currently in detention. The case also involves former security officials, some of whom are incarcerated while others are appearing in court as free individuals, along with several suspects who are currently on the run.
During the hearing, some of the accused appeared via video conference from the Mornaguia civil prison. Others refused to appear before the camera, including Rached Ghannouchi and Fathi Baldi. In contrast, four accused individuals, including former high-ranking security officials appearing in court as free individuals, were present in person.
Note: The article does not provide further information on the case, but it seems to be a significant development in the investigation and trial of Ennahdha movement suspects in Tunisia.
