No Israel ties in Tunisia reform pact

| 2011/07/03 | |
| Tunisia's High Commission for Political Reforms and Democratic Transition says it has adopted a 'pact of reform' which prohibits normalization of relations with Zionist regime. Ayadh Ben Achour, the president of the commission announced the adoption of the agreement without giving further details on its contents, AFP reported on Friday. The pact will provide the basis for a new constitution in the North African country. The document also states that Tunisia is a democratic country, its language is Arabic and its religion is Islam. It further says that Tunisia supports the Palestinian cause on top of refusing ties with Zionist regime. Tunisians are expected to elect an assembly in October to draft a new constitution. At least 147 people were killed and 510 left injured during the Tunisian 'Jasmine Revolution' that unseated Ben Ali in January after a 23-year-long authoritarian rule, according to the United Nations. On January 14, Ben Ali fled the North African country to the Saudi port city of Jeddah. There are unconfirmed claims that the deposed Tunisian dictator has gone into a coma in Saudi Arabia after suffering a stroke. Riots and protests broke out in Tunisia following the self-immolation of a 26-year-old fruit vendor, identified as Muhammad Bouazizi, who set himself on fire after police confiscated his merchandise. |

A press release issued by the Irvine Thanvi Natas solicitors (ITN) on Saturday said: On Friday 1st July Mr. Raed Salah was transferred from an Immigration Detention Centre to a formal prison. No good reason for this transfer has been given. The transfer to prison will significantly interfere with the preparation of Mr Salah's appeal against the Deportation Order. The deadline for Mr Salah to Appeal is the 6th July 2011. The prison have informed Mr. Salah's lawyer that his legal team will not be able to visit him until the 11th July, 5 days after the deadline is due to pass. Mr Salah's solicitor, Tayab Ali of ITN Solicitors, said 'Mr Salah remains resolute and determined to challenge the Deportation Order. Despite the difficulties his transfer to prison poses for us, a formal Notice of Appeal against the Deportation Order was lodged on Friday. We are confident that the Order will be overturned. The Home Secretary has grossly misjudged my client. In stark contrast to the false picture that has been painted, he is a man of peace, a widely respected leader who campaigns tirelessly for his people. By attempting to silence him in the United Kingdom, the Government is turning its back on the Palestinian people. The merits of the Home Secretary's Order are now a matter for the Courts'. Meanwhile, Zahi Nujaidat, lawyer and spokesman of the Islamic movement who flew to London on after the arrest of Sheikh Salah, said that he tried to visit Sheikh Salah on Saturday but was not allowed. | ||
