Polisi nchini humo wanadaiwa kumshikilia mwanahabari Salah Atiyah kwa kutoa maoni katika mahojiano ya televisheni kwamba Rais Kais Saied alilitaka jeshi kufunga makao makuu ya chama cha wafanyakazi cha UGTT na kuwafunga viongozi wa upinzani kifungo cha nyumbani
Waendesha mashtaka wa jeshi wamekanusha madai hayo na kusema wameanza uchunguzi juu ya tuhuma hizo walizoziita za kutaka”kudhuru utulivu wa umma”, pia Katibu mkuu wa UGTT amekanusha madai ya mwandishi huyo
Aidha, Rais Saied amekuwa akikabiliwa na tuhuma za kuhujumu demokrasia baada ya kutupilia mbali katiba mnamo mwaka 2014 na kulifuta Bunge

The Tunisian police have arrested journalist Salah Atiyah for commenting in a TV interview that President Kais Saied had asked the army to close the headquarters of the powerful UGTT trade union, a witness told the Reuters news agency on Saturday.
“Police in civilian clothes arrested Atiyah in a cafe in the suburb of Ibn Khaldoun in the capital,” the witness, who was with Attia, told Reuters by phone.
On Saturday, military prosecutors said they had opened an investigation into Atiyah on suspicion of “harming public order and the impartiality of the army”.
Atiyah said on Saturday that President Saied had asked the army to close the UGTT headquarters and put political leaders under house arrest, but that the army had refused.
General Secretary of the UGTT, Noureddine Taboubi, denied Atiyah’s allegations.
Saied has been facing growing criticism that he seeks to consolidate one-man rule since seizing power last July in a move his opponents called a coup. He subsequently set aside the 2014 constitution to rule by decree and dismissed the elected parliament.
The president’s opponents accuse him of undermining the democratic gains of the 2011 revolution that triggered the Arab Spring, but he says his moves were legal and needed to save Tunisia from a prolonged political crisis.
The president last month called for a national dialogue to prepare a “new constitution for a new republic” and excluded main political parties. Other major players such as the UGTT refused to participate in what it said would be a dialogue with a predetermined outcome.
