Tunisian appeal court discharges former Libyan Prime Minister – The Appeal court of Tozeur, in Southern Tunisia, on Tuesday discharged the former Libyan prime minister, Mahmoudi Baghdadi, who was standing trial for illegal entry into Tunisian territory, for lack of evidence.

He was arrested on 7 September in Tameghza, near the Algerian border, for not having an entry visa into Tunisia.

His two companions were also discharged for lack of evidence.

At the beginning of this month, one Tunisian tribunal dismissed charges against one Libyan officer, Commander Khouildi Lahmidi, accused of having entered Tunisia illegally.
