Press Release: ….And the Plundered Wealth File Released in Tunisia

….And the Plundered Wealth File Released in Tunisia
(Translated)

Tunisia lived a big lie that it had no resources and little potential. However today after a political struggle and determination of the sincere people, the cover has been lifted, the hidden is exposed and the magnitude of the crime and scandal manifested. And the people revolted demanding their right in the seized looted wealth; thus giving the revolution a new blessed momentum. However, the authorities’ reaction was overwhelming and fierce taking a military or quasi-military form. Besides, the authorities – with some cheap media – described the vulnerable protesters as terrorists or accomplices of terrorism, and falsely and wrongly accused the revolting sides as paving the way for secession and tearing the country… As this happened against our people in Tataouine, our people in Kerkennah, our people in Qabli and Douz, our people in Ben Guerdane and lastly in Al-Fawar, and the most heinous scene was against our people in the Mining Basin.

The state is not performing its duty in protecting the country, people, resources and its potential. Instead it protects the plunderers of the wealth in a way unparalleled even in the depths of Africa, and deems it easy to suppress its people and accuse its people falsely. And it calls on them to accept the perpetual poverty, the perpetual deprivation, and the perpetual subjection … What a shame for the rulers whose children study abroad, they and their families are treated abroad, spend their small and big holidays abroad and secure their money and their livelihoods abroad… then they facilitate for the foreigner to take control of what remains of the bounties of the country in a shameful and humiliatin manner.

Hizb ut Tahrir has the honor to be the initiator and the most prominent in raising this issue in the media and in the political and popular milieus. Hizb ut Tahrir has held dozens of seminars in the North, Center and South on the subject of the looted wealth… And the Hizb, together with the help of Allah (swt) first, then together with the help of the vulnerable people of this country, and together with all the sincere people, will never be silent about this betrayal, this collusion that made Tunisia live under the largest plunder by global standards to this tragic extent.

We will continue to do, with the permission of Allah, despite our knowledge about the reports of mercenaries that are sent to the Embassies against us and against the sincere people …
