Tunisia: Salafite Hibz Ettahir not legal yet

The legalization of Tunisia\'s Hizb Ettahir Party, the political mouthpiece of the Salafite movement which is tolerated in the country, has been denied again, party leader Ridha Belhak said yesterday. Belhai said he received a letter from Prime Minister Hamadi Djebali motivating the decision. In an interview with radio Mosaique, Belhaj did not make the motivation public but slammed the Ennahdha Parti of which Djebali is deputy leader saying \'the prisoners of yesterday have become today\'s decision makers\'. Belhaj said the fact that his party is still banned is \'an honour\' as it is \'dictated by the West\' and added he has not taken part in Ennahdha\'s congress because he had not been invited as leader of his party.
