Russians held in Tunisia on ‘terrorism’ allegations
January 30, 2025
Eleven Russians detained in Tunisia last November are being held on suspicion of terrorism after police found suspicious items near the Algerian border. The group, described as tourists visiting Roman ruins, has not been formally charged, but authorities confiscated equipment that did not align with their declared tourist activities. While Tunisia and Russia maintain stable relations, the reason for the detention remains unclear, with the case sparking further scrutiny.
