Tunisia-3 members of US congress call on Biden to intervene to restore Tunisian parliament

1. Insist that President Saied stop prosecuting, harassing, and restricting the travel of members of parliament and activists engaged in free speech and peaceful protest activities.

2. Determine whether President Saied has carried out a coup and, if so, investigate which Tunisian officials (civilian and/or military) assisted President Saied.

3. Investigate whether President Saied’s use of military prosecutors and tribunals to charge and try civilian members of Tunisia’s Parliament and pro-democracy activists is a violation of Tunisian or international law.

4. Determine whether President Saied’s current actions are in violation of any U.S. aid requirements, and, if so, freeze U.S. military aid to Tunisia until democratic governance has been restored.

5. Insist on the full and immediate restoration of the Tunisian Parliament with all rights and privileges accorded.
