A TV Report in Tunisia Keeps the Muslim Brotherhood in a “State of Emergency”

---

The Muslim Brotherhood in Tunisia is in a state of emergency after a private TV channel announced the broadcast of a report that allegedly exposes details of the organization’s conspiracy against the state.

The group had intensified its propaganda in an attempt to gain public sympathy just days before the trial of its leaders for conspiracy and attempted coup. However, the announcement of the report’s broadcast seems to have shattered their hopes of swaying public opinion.

The private channel “Attessia” announced that on Friday evening, it would air a report delving into the details of the case involving a conspiracy against state security, in which the head of the Ennahdha movement, Rached Ghannouchi, and other Muslim Brotherhood leaders, along with allied parties, are implicated.

The first hearing of the trial for conspiracy against Tunisia’s security is set for March 4 and includes around 40 individuals.

Unveiling Conspiracies

Observers believe that the media ban on covering the conspiracy case encouraged the Brotherhood to “persist in their lies” to the Tunisian people. They stress the importance of exposing the details of this case in the media to silence all Islamist voices.

The Tunisian judiciary had initially prohibited media coverage of the case, but the ban was lifted last September.

Tunisian activist and political analyst Abdelkarim Mahmoudi stated, “Media coverage and the exposure of the Brotherhood’s conspiracies in this case are crucial to counter any attempts to mislead public opinion and portray the group as innocent.”

Immediately after the report’s broadcast was announced, Brotherhood leaders attacked it even before knowing its content. According to observers, this indicates that the organization is aware of the nature of the documents that might be revealed and fears their impact on public opinion.

Mahmoudi asserts that “evidence and testimonies have proven that those involved in the conspiracy case attempted, in early 2023, to overthrow President Kais Saied by relying on their infiltrated elements in the Carthage Palace and with the support of foreign parties.”

Case Details

The investigation and surveillance of the Muslim Brotherhood leaders, along with the monitoring of the detainees’ phones, led authorities to what they describe as “involvement” in the case of “conspiracy against state security” in Tunisia. The alleged goal was to restore the movement to power by forming a new government and reinstating the 2014 Constitution, which was drafted by the movement and suspended in 2022.

This case involves a broad network, with 86 accused individuals inside and outside the country, suspected of attempting to “overthrow the ruling regime,” among them Rached Ghannouchi.

According to investigations, the suspects allegedly attempted, on January 27, 2023, to overthrow the government by stirring social unrest and inciting nighttime chaos, exploiting certain individuals within the presidential palace.

However, Tunisian security forces and intelligence services managed to foil the plan by tracking their calls, communications, and movements. The investigation revealed that Khayam Turki, the figure the Muslim Brotherhood had agreed upon as a potential successor to Kais Saied, was the central link connecting the different parties involved in the conspiracy.
