Rached Ghannouchi, the Tunisian opposition leader and head of the Ennahda Party, has been sentenced to three years in prison by a Tunisian court over accusations of receiving foreign contributions. Similarly, Nabil Karoui, former presidential candidate and founder of the Qalb Tounes party, received a three-year prison sentence from the Tunis Court of Appeal for accepting more than $1 million in foreign funds during the 2019 presidential elections. These cases reflect the actions of a Tunisian corruption court that has been actively targeting government critics.
