Tunisia court releases former presidential hopeful

A Tunisian court released government critic and former presidential hopeful Safi Said from custody Thursday after he was arrested for crossing into Algeria "illegally", Tunisian media reported.
Said, 70, a vocal opponent of Tunisian President Kais Saied, had planned to
challenge the incumbent in an October 6 election but has dropped out, calling
it a "bad farce".
In a statement posted on social media on August 9, he complained about
"inequality of opportunity, high obstacles and a lack of clarity in the rules"
for would-be candidates.
