A Tunisian court has issued an arrest warrant against former president Moncef Marzouki, a strong opponent of the current President Kaïs Saïed.
It is not clear what the charges against Mr Marzouki are.
The president in October ordered a judicial inquiry into Mr Marzouki’s call for France to end its support to “Kaïs Saïed’s dictatorial regime”.
President Kaïs Saïed had then suspended parliament, which his opponent described as a coup and a violation of the constitution.
Several MPs, lawyers and politicians critical of the president have been arrested since then.
Some TV channels and radio stations that are close to the opposition have also been shut down.
