A Tunisian judge on Wednesday ordered the detention of prominent lawyer Ahmed Souab, a fierce critic of President Kais Saied, lawyers said, two days after his arrest for comments about the judiciary.
Souab is among the lawyers acting for opposition leaders who received prison sentences on Saturday on conspiracy charges.
Souab strongly criticized the judge and the trial last week, calling the proceedings a farce and saying the judiciary had been destroyed.
