Suha Arafat, widow of former Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat, has had her Tunisian citizenship revoked, according to recent reports by several Arab media channels.
Arafat, widow of former Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat, was said to have fled to Malta with her daughter last month. Presidential sources kept Arafats hasty departure secret, and the Tunisian government was vague about the reason behind her losing her citizenship.
According to the London based al-Quds al-Arabi, Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali withdrew Arafat's naturalized status in a special decree last week. The Tunisian citizenship granted to Suha Daoud Tawil, who was born in Jerusalem on July 17, 1963, is to be revoked," the decree stated.
Arafat was granted Tunisian citizenship in September 2006 after having moved there with her daughter following her husbands death in 2004.
Although the Tunisian government did not state a reason for revoking the citizenship, sources in the local justice system said Arafat lost her "moral and material rights".
The presidential decision to annul Arafats naturalized status was speculated to be in connection wit her rumored affair with the presidents married brother-in-law.
Reports of the affair began last summer, when Arafat was said to have secretly married the presidents brother-in-law, Lahasn al-Trabulsi. Arafat vehemently denied the reports, and threatened to take legal action against those distributing them.
Al Quds al-Arabi said the reason for Arafats departure was a business dispute with her partners in Tunisia. Neither Arafat, nor the Tunisian government, have confirmed the report.
Yeah of course LOL!
I wonder if she doing that because she fearing Arafat gave her gift before he died
And if the disaster of a HRC presidency should come about, she would find a comfortable place to stay in the Lincoln Bedroom, where she could afford the rent.

Markie Post and Linda Bloodworth- jumping on the bed in the Lincoln Bedroom......
The Tunisian prez didn’t want his brother-in-law to die from AIDS contracted from AIDS carrier Suha.
I still remember Suha from the good ol’ Yasser death watch weeks. Apparently she wouldn’t pull the plug or release the corpse until she was guaranteed some megabucks to maintain her in the state she had grown accustomed to. ‘Touching’ wasn’t the word for it, macabre or grotesque come closer.:)
