Mohammed ben Hedi Naouar was released from detention without charge at 2pm on 16 July. Earlier on the same day he had been brought before an examining judge in Tunis where he was reportedly questioned about his links with Amnesty International, and his relationship with his cousin, Belgacem Naouar, who has been in detention since April 2002, in connection with the explosion of a truck outside a synagogue in Djerba that killed 21 people.
