Tunisian police have arrested former prime minister Hamadi Jebali, a former senior member of the Ennahdha party, on suspicion of money laundering

The interior ministry called a press conference in response., his lawyer told Reuters.Police in the city of Sousse seized the phones of Jebali and his wife, and then took him to an unknown location on Thursday, according to a statement by his family on Facebook.

Jebali's defence team have said they have been able to meet with him at the detention centre where he is being held.Jebali told us he will not answer the investigators' questions and he entered into a hunger strike as the issue has a political motivation and nothing to do with money laundering.Ennahdha, which describes itself as a Muslim Democrat party, was previously the biggest party in Tunisia's parliament.

Saied's opponents say he is waging a campaign through the police and the judiciary to target his opponents, a charge he denies. Saied is now planning a referendum on 25 July, where Tunisians will vote on a new constitution, a vote the opposition has said they will boycott.
