The families of four jailed Tunisian politicians have called on the International Criminal Court to investigate allegations of political persecution.
The lawyer acting for the families also called on the EU, UK and US to bring sanctions against President Kais Saied’s government.
The Tunisian leader is accused of jailing more than 20 people purely because they are critics of his policies – and of targeting black migrants in a wave of brutal repression.
The move follows the arrest this week of Abir Moussi, the head of the opposition Free Constitutional Party.
