According to his lawyer, Ines Harrath, Laarayedh was questioned for eight hours on behalf of the counter-terrorism judicial pole before being imprisoned for his alleged activities. thecradle.co/Article/news/1…
This is the second time the former prime minister is being held for similar charges. The first time was in September in response to claims that he helped smuggle Tunisians into Syria so that they could join militant & terrorist organizations like the ISIS. thecradle.co/Article/news/1…
While serving as the country’s prime minister, Laarayedh was initially accused of having too relaxed views on Tunisians traveling to Turkiye while ignoring its risks at the time. thecradle.co/Article/news/1…
Turkiye remained the main route for many extremists joining armed groups to fight in Syria. thecradle.co/Article/news/1…
Over the previous ten years, an estimated 6,000 Tunisians have gone to Syria and Iraq to join such groups. A parliamentary panel was established in 2017 to look into the organizations responsible for the smuggling and recruitment of so-called jihadists. thecradle.co/Article/news/1…
