A Tunisian Ennahda movement official, Belkacem Hassan, announced that the movement's Vice President Noureddine Buhairi was kidnapped, abused and taken to an unknown destination.

The official blamed Tunisian President Kais Saied for the kidnapping of Buhairi, adding that there is information that Buhairi suffered a heart attack after he was kidnapped.

He pointed out that the kidnapping of Buhairi is a scandal for the authority and evidence of its confusion.

Tunisian media sources reported that Tunisia's Interior Minister Taoufik Charfeddine issued two administrative decisions placing Buhairi and a former Ennahda official under house arrest.

Conspiracies being planned

A few days ago, the Tunisian President Kais Saied warned the people of Tunisia to stay vigilant over the plots being prepared, going as far as assassination, urging them to "take caution over the plots of some traitors who sold their conscience to foreign intelligence."

"Those who sold their conscience to foreign intelligence plan on assassinating several officials," Saied told a cabinet meeting he was supervising.

The president also highlighted a recording of a phone call Interior Minister Taoufik Charfeddine possesses, which reveals an assassination plot and specifies the day of the assassination.

The Tunisian capital, Tunis, saw demonstrations supporting and opposing the decisions of Saied. The demonstrations took place on the 11th anniversary of the 2010 Tunisian revolution.
