SITUATION IN TUNISIA

SITUATION IN TUNISIA 

Malaysia is following developments in Tunisia closely, including the recent detention of several key individuals, among them Mr. Rached Ghannouchi, the leader of Ennahda and former Speaker of the Assembly of the Representatives of the People.

While acknowledging that the developments constitute Tunisia’s internal affairs, Malaysia remains deeply concerned about the latest political development in the country. Owing to his health and age, we appeal for special consideration and mercy to be accorded to Mr. Rached Ghannouchi during this blessed month of Ramadan.

Malaysia sincerely hopes that national reconciliation and consensus would be the path towards bringing about progress and prosperity for the people of Tunisia.

We always wish the best for the brotherly country of Tunisia and its people.
