That’s hostage - taking, no?
- mcv 7y agoI have no idea whether this is illegal in Tunisia, but it definitely should be. I hope the hotel gets slapped down hard for this. Let the person who made that call do some time in prison.

Private citizens do not enjoy the same immunity from civil liability when making arrests on other private citizens as do police officers.“
