The league's local sections called his transfer from Mornaguia to Monastir arbitrary and said his mail and reading material have been delayed for months.
The government's plan adds about 550 megawatts of capacity before next summer, mostly from turbine cooling, gas production and solar energy, but clean-energy advocate Ahmed Dous says the shortfall is 1,500 to 3,300 megawatts.

Donald Trump told Fox News that Washington would stop sending Israel its annual military assistance by the end of the year, a figure he put at $4 billion.

Moldova's prime minister said government databases holding data on hundreds of thousands of people were breached and cancelled a Brussels trip, blaming a suspected state actor he declined to name. The attack came as a separate hacking campaign that overheated supermarket refrigeration systems in France last month spread to Italy and Sweden, prompting emergency talks in Rome.
