Appeals have mounted for word on the whereabouts of detained Tunisian politician Noureddine Bhiri, a leader of the Ennahdha party, the largest in the North African country’s suspended parliament.

Plainclothes officers arrested Bhiri, a former justice minister and deputy president of Ennahdha, in the capital Tunis on Friday.

Ennahdha had played a central role in the country’s politics until President Kais Saied seized power in July. Bhiri and Baldi were “not in an official detention facility, their homes or at a police station”, he said, charging that the pair’s location was being “kept secret”. The president has defended his takeover as the only way to end governmental paralysis after years of political squabbling and economic stagnation.On Friday, Ennahdha said authorities were questioning Bhiri and denounced “a kidnapping and dangerous precedent marking the country’s entry into a tunnel to dictatorship”.

Ennahdha party legislator Habib Khedher said Interior Minister Taoufik Charfeddine had refused on Saturday to meet with representatives of Bhiri’s defence committee.
