The anti-terror judge has begun to interrogate the Head of the Tunisian Ennahdha Movement, Rached Ghannouchi, in the case of facilitating "travel networks to hotbeds of tension," Mokhtar Al-Jamai, the lawyer for the head of the movement announced on Monday.

Ghannouchi was questioned today after his lawyer requested to postpone the hearing session last September 21, Al-Jamai added. 

Last September, the judiciary postponed the investigation with Ghannouchi in the case of what is known as sending Tunisians "to hotbeds of tension” in Syria and Iraq, to ​​November 28, corresponding to today.

Investigations began after a complaint filed by former MP Fatima Al-Mesdi last December and they involve several members of Ennahdha, including the former leader of the movement Habib El-Louz.

Last June, the Tunisian judiciary officially charged 33 people with belonging to a terrorist organization, including Ghannouchi and former Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali, and ordered the freezing of their financial assets and bank accounts. 

Also, the Tunisian judiciary issued a decision on June 27 banning Ghannouchi from traveling as part of an investigation into political assassinations that took place in 2013.

Ghannouchi was summoned last July 19 for investigation in a case related to money laundering and corruption. Ennahdha denied the charges against its leader, and the investigating judge decided to release him.
