Noureddine Bhiri, an official in the Ennahda opposition party, was sentenced to up to 10 years in prison by a Tunisian court on charges of attacking state security and trying to incite inter-community violence, according to Reuters. 

Monia Bouali, Bhiri's lawyer, told Reuters that the trial "was marred by many legal violations due to a Facebook post attributed to him that technical tests proved did not exist at all."

Bhiri has been detained for 18 months, along with many other opponents of Tunisian President Kais Saeid. The opposition has claimed his tenure and ruling came about by a "coup".
