The Tunisian authority Sunday arrested a private TV station owner and his son, accusing them of "treason" for provoking violence and assisting the return of fallen President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, official TAP news agency reported.
Larbi Nasra, a relative of the former first lady and owner of the Hannibal TV, has been using the channel to abort the "youth's revolution," spread confusion and publish false information, state TV quote official sources as saying.

Their aim is to create a constitutional vacuum, undermine stability and create chaos to facilitate the return of the dictatorship of the ex-president, the report said.
