TUNIS (Reuters) - Tunisian court sentenced on Friday the prominent official in Ennahda opposition party Noureddine Bhiri to 10 years in prison, on charges of attacking state security and inciting Tunisians against each other, a lawyer told Reuters.
Bhiri's lawyer Monia Bouali, said the trial "was marred by many legal violations due to a Facebook post attributed to him that technical tests proved did not exist at all".
