This request was made during a meeting held at the Carthage Palace between Kaïs Saïed and the Minister of Justice, according to a statement issued by the Tunisian presidency.

During the meeting, the Tunisian president addressed the pending cases before the courts, stating: “Procedures are not an end in themselves but a means to ensure everyone’s rights are upheld under a law that treats all litigants equally.”

He added that “the Tunisian people aspire to justice, want full transparency, and demand fair accountability.”

Kaïs Saïed also emphasized that “successive delays in some cases, particularly those related to political assassinations that have been pending for over a decade, amount to a form of denial of justice. The scales of justice are the most important in this world and before the One who raised the heavens and established balance.”

Tunisian authorities reopened investigations into political assassinations after judicial independence was restored and the Muslim Brotherhood was ousted from power on July 25, 2021.

However, more than three years later, no final verdict has been issued in these cases.

Political Assassination Cases

On February 6, 2013, Tunisian politician Chokri Belaïd was shot dead in front of his home in the suburbs of Tunis, marking the first political assassination in Tunisia since 1956.

This tragedy shocked Tunisian society and exposed the dark side of the Muslim Brotherhood, which had seized power following the fall of former President Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali in 2011.

The assassination occurred under the government of Hamadi Jebali, a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Prime Minister, with Interior Minister Ali Larayedh (currently imprisoned) and Justice Minister Noureddine Bhiri in office.

On July 25, 2013, Mohamed Brahmi was assassinated with 14 bullets in front of his home in suburban Tunis. Six bullets hit the upper part of his body, while eight struck his left leg, in a horrifying act witnessed by his wife and five children.

The shooters, riding a motorcycle, used a 9mm pistol. Investigations revealed that they were two terrorists from a banned group called “Ansar al-Sharia,” namely Boubaker Al-Hakim and Lotfi Al-Zein.

Additionally, the Ennahdha movement, affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, faces accusations of orchestrating the elimination of political opponents.
