Tunisia’s democracy continues to deteriorate after a wave of arrests of opposition politicians and government critics. That includes leading opposition leader Rached Ghannouchi, who was sentenced to a year in prison last week. Now, the family members of those opposition figures, including Yusra Ghannouchi and Kaouther Ferjani, are filing a legal case with the African Court on Human and People’s Rights. The World’s Halima Gikandi has our story from Nairobi, Kenya.
