Court extends detention of four Sumud flotilla organisers by four months

A judge at Tunisia's Economic and Financial Judicial Pole extended by four months the pretrial detention of Wael Naouar, Nabil Chennoufi, Ghassen Henchiri and Ghassen Boughdiri, held since March on accusations of financial irregularities in the flotilla's fundraising. Naouar, hospitalised after 26 days on hunger strike, remains detained; the other three began hunger strikes of their own this week demanding release.
