Tunisian President Kais Saied on Friday sacked his Religious Affairs Minister Ibrahim Chaibi after dozens of Tunisian pilgrims died while performing the Hajj ritual in Saudi Arabia.

Chaibi said earlier on Friday, before his sacking, that most of the deaths were among Tunisian pilgrims who traveled to the Kingdom on tourist visas rather than through the Saudi official Hajj program.
