 Daughter of Tunisia's former President Ben Ali arrested in France


A daughter of Tunisia's former President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, ousted in 2011 during the Arab Spring, has been arrested in France at the request of Tunisian authorities, prosecutors told AFP on Tuesday.


Halima Ben Ali was arrested at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris as she was about to board a flight to Dubai.


She is to appear on Wednesday at the Paris prosecutor's office "for notification of the request for provisional arrest" issued by Tunisian authorities, it said.


She will then be placed under either extradition detention or judicial supervision, the prosecutor's office added.


Reasons not immediately clear


The reason for Tunisia's request was not immediately given.


Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was the first leader to be ousted during the Arab Spring revolts.


He ruled his North African country from 1987 until 2011. He was criticised for his perceived reluctance to embrace democracy.


Driven out by protests, Ben Ali fled Tunisia for Saudi Arabia, where he died in exile in 2019, aged 83.


Ben Ali himself was sentenced several times to life in prison, including for the suppression of protests in the last weeks of his rule that killed more than 300 people.
