Mohsen Marzouk (Arabic: محسن مرزوق; born July 1965) is a Tunisian politician. He holds a degree in political sociology and International Relations from the International Studies Association in Tunis.

Early life

Mohsen Marzouk was born in July 1965 and raised in a poor working-class neighborhood in the city of Sfax. At fourteen, he was expelled from school for his oppositional political activities. He managed to re-enter and finish high school in Sfax.[1]

At the University of Tunis, Marzouk was a leading student activist. In 1987, while still enrolled, he was arrested by Tunisia's secret police. He was interrogated and tortured for many days before being sent to a labor camp in the southern desert.[1]

When he was allowed to return, Marzouk remained politically active. He worked towards reinstating the General Union of Tunisian Students (UGET)[1] which after Ben Ali's rise to power became deeply divided over its further political course.[2] Marzouk was appointed to the UGET's executive bureau[1] while at the same time, he was conspiratively active for the outlawed leftist movement El Amal Ettounsi.[3]

Career

From 1989 on, he worked as a coordinator for the newly founded Arab Institute for Human Rights.[4] Since 2008 he has been secretary-general of the non-governmental Arab Democracy Foundation and member of the International Steering Committee of the Community of Democracies.[5]

Marzouk is one of the founders of Nidaa Tounes and was member of the party's Executive Committee.[4] As Beji Caid Essebsi's campaign manager in the 2014 presidential election[6] he announced Essebsi's victory in the runoff vote on 21 December,[7] stating that Tunisians were now turning the page of the transitional phase[8] and that Tunisia was now a stable democracy.[9] Marzouk’s faction within Nidaa Tounes supported a more assertive, secularist government.[10] Marzouk left the party in early January 2016[11] and later became part of Machrouu Tounes.[12]
