Two Members of Parliament (MPs) have been jailed in Tunisia.
A military court jailed the two lawmakers amid concerns over human rights in Tunisia.
African Entertainment understands that the two lawmakers are from Tunisia’s Islamist Karama party.
One of the MPs, Nidal Saudi was accused of insulting airport security staff months ago, according to local media reports.
The second jailed MP, Saif Eddine Makhlouf, was accused of threatening judges and accusing them of being involved in a coup. He reportedly threatened the judges when he was denied permission to represent Mr Saudi as his lawyer.
So far, five lawmakers have now been imprisoned since July when President Kais Saied took over governing powers.
