63 - Imprisonment My life, my Tunisia

The podcast transcript features Massin Kevin Labidi discussing the tense political climate in Tunis in March 1987, with rising tensions between the government and Islamist forces. Labidi reflects on his internal struggle of whether to collaborate with authorities or join the popular revolt to save his country. He describes the arrest of prominent figures like Rachid Ghannouchi and the complex web of rivalries and espionage at play. Labidi eventually gets arrested, tortured, and thrown into a cell, where he decides to reveal information but refuses to become a mole. The experience leads him to reject dependence on any authority and appreciate certain aspects of President Bourguiba's political work. The discussion sheds light on the dangerous political landscape in Tunisia at the time and the personal turmoil faced by individuals caught in the midst of conflicting ideologies and power struggles.
