Tunisia military court jails 4 lawmakers from dissolved parliament, lawyer says

A Tunisian military court on Tuesday issued prison sentences to four lawmakers from the country's dissolved parliament, including Saif Eddine Maklouf, a prominent opponent of President Kais Saied, their lawyer told Reuters.

Makhlouf, head of the conservative Karama Party, and three other party members were charged with assaulting policemen‮ ‬last year. The military court issued 5-month prison sentences for Makhlouf and Nidhal Saoudi and 3-month terms to Mohamed Affas and Meher Zid.
