Mr Seriati remains4 in custody5 and faces other charges related to the uprising. 'Forgive me' Mr Seriati, who was the head of Ben Ali's feared presidential guard, was arrested in the immediate6 aftermath of the revolution. Earlier this week he made an emotional appeal in court. "I ask the Tunisian people to forgive me. I am Tunisian and I love Tunisia," Reuters news agency quotes him as saying. But Tunisian journalist Mourad Teyeb told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme that many people are angry that Mr Seriati has been acquitted because he is seen as a "symbol of Ben Ali's terror". He is due to be tried in the next few days on charges of plotting against the state and provoking disorder7 - crimes that carry the death sentence. Last month, a court in Tunis gave Ben Ali, his daughter and son-in-law jail terms in absentia(缺席) over corrupt8 property deals. It was the third guilty verdict against Ben Ali. In earlier trials, he was convicted of possessing illegal drugs and weapons and of embezzling9 and misusing10 state funds. Saudi Arabia has so far refused to extradite(引渡) him. Ben Ali ruled Tunisia for more than 20 years, before being deposed11 in a popular uprising that spread across North Africa and the Middle East. 点击 ![]()
