<p>The UK is concerned by President Saied's decision to dissolve Parliament and the
possibility of politicians from the previous government facing criminal charges. At
a time when Tunisia faces serious long-term challenges, the need for political engagement
and dialogue is greater than ever. The UK has closely monitored the political situation
in Tunisia since the changes brought in by President Saied on 25 July 2021, and we
will continue to do so. We are monitoring legal cases being brought against politicians
from the parliament and previous governments, including allegations of irregularities
in the 2019 elections, and are concerned that these could be used to prevent opposition
politicians from contesting future elections.</p>
