He was arrested in 1981 for his affiliation with the Islamic Action Party, now the Ennahda Movement, then immediately released.

In 1991 he was sentenced to fifteen years in prison, of which he served fourteen years.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.arabicnews.com/ansub/Daily/Day/041104/2004110401.html|title=Tunisian president pardons several Islamists|publisher=ArabicNews.com|date=2004-04-11}}</ref> He was the [[Editor-in-Chief|editor-in-chief]] for the publication [[Al-Fajr (Tunisian newspaper)|al-Fajr]] which was later banned by the Tunisian government and whose staff were imprisoned.<ref>{{cite web|title=القيادي الإسلامي زياد الدولاتي|url=http://www.alasr.ws/index.cfm?method=home.con&ContentId=5935|publisher={{lang-ar|مجلة العصر}}|date=2004-12-17|access-date=2011-01-30}}</ref> Between March and July 2010, Ziad el-Doulatli was placed under periodic house arrest and close police surveillance. In March 2010 the Tunisian police forces were ordered to place Ziad el-Doulatli under house arrest in order to keep him from visiting with human rights activist [[Zahir Makhlouf]] after his release from prison.<ref>{{cite web|title=استمرار المحاصرة والمراقبة اللصيقة على المناضل السياسي زياد الدولاتلي والناشط الحقوقي زهير مخلوف|url=http://www.alhiwar.net/ShowNews.php?Tnd=4757|publisher=al-Hiwar|date=2010-03-01|access-date=2011-01-30}}</ref> In June 2010 he even threatened to go on hunger strike if the police did not let up "the constraints that they had placed on him."<ref>{{cite web|title= القيادي الإسلامي البارز زياد الدولاتلي يهدد بإضراب عن الطعام احتجاجا|url=http://www.qudspress.com/?p=98625|publisher=Quds Press|date=2010-07-05|access-date=2011-01-31}}</ref>

==Ideas==

Ziad el-Doulatli has long been an opponent of the Ben Ali regime and a proponent of democratic reform in Tunisia. He has repeatedly stated his opposition to armed struggle as a means of bringing about change.<ref>{{cite web|title=كلمة الدكتور زياد الدولاتلي في الندوة الوطنية حول الجمهورية|url=http://nawaat.org/portail/2007/07/20/discours-doulatli-congres/|publisher=Nawaat|date=2007-07-07|access-date=2011-01-31}}</ref> He has long advocated the equal rights and treatment of women who wear the [[hijab]] in Tunisian society. In 2006 he called for the Tunisian government to "review its policy" in relation to women wearing the veil and to "treat the Tunisian veiled woman as a citizen who has the full right to choose the hijab and exercise her right in education and work environments without harassment and discrimination."<ref>{{cite web|title=لا مبيت جامعي للمحجبات في تونس|url=http://forum.qalamoun.com/showthread.php?6944-%E1%C7-quot-%E3%C8%ED%CA-%CC%C7%E3%DA%ED-quot-%E1%E1%E3%CD%CC%C8%C7%CA-%DD%ED-%CA%E6%E4%D3|publisher={{lang-ar|روعة مشرفة}}|date=December 2006|access-date=2011-01-31}}</ref>

==Role in post-Ben Ali Tunisia==

Doulatli has criticized the transitional Tunisian government for continuing to "act with the mentality of the bygone era." He has also criticized [[Yadh Ben Achour]], the president of the [[Higher Political Reform Commission]] of Tunisia, for his "secular leanings and resentment towards religion." He strongly supports [[Rashad el-Ghanushi]], one of the leading founders of the Tunisian Nahda Party, and organized a welcome for him for his return to Tunisia on January 30, 2011.<ref name=sharq>{{cite web|title=راشد الغنوشي زعيم حركة النهضة يعود الى تونس بعد 20 عاما في المنفى|url=http://www.aawsat.com/details.asp?section=4&issueno=11751&article=606016&search=%D2%ED%C7%CF%20%C7%E1%CF%E6%E1%C7%CA%E1%ED&state=true |publisher=[[Asharq Al-Awsat]] |date=30 January 2011 |access-date=31 January 2011}}</ref> He is seeking to legalise the Nahda as a political party in Tunisia.<ref name="ft" />
