Tunisians Protest Against Government Deviations and Violations

Hundreds‍ of⁣ Tunisians took part in a protest march in the center of the Tunisian capital, calling for the return of democracy and‍ an end⁢ to‍ targeting politicians, human rights activists, and ⁣media professionals.

The⁣ protest, organized by the Tunisian Network for Rights and Liberties, raised slogans against what they described as “deviations and violations committed by the executive authorities”. The network includes associations, ‌human⁣ rights organizations, and several groups.

Key Demands of the Protest

• Protecting public and private rights and liberties
• Abolishing “repressive orders”
• Guaranteeing everyone’s right to freedom of expression and‍ the right⁤ to dissent
• Releasing prisoners of conscience
• Guaranteeing civil and political activity

Absence of Competitive ⁣Climate

The protest comes hours before⁢ the official start of the campaign for the upcoming⁢ presidential election scheduled to be held on October 6. However, the voices ​raised during the protests ‍called for the fall of the regime of Tunisian President Kais Said, the overthrow of tyranny, and the restoration of ‍democracy.

Arrests Among⁢ Ennahda Movement Leaders

The Ennahda movement announced‍ that security authorities had ⁣arrested dozens of ⁢its members across the country. The ⁢movement condemned the arbitrary and unjust arrests⁢ of its activists and demanded an ⁢end to the oppression and harassment of its workers and the release of those detained.

Changing Protest Scene

The protest scene in the years following the Tunisian revolution looked significantly different than its ⁤predecessor. ⁣The ​arrests of dozens of second-⁣ and third-tier leaders of the Ennahda movement over the past two ⁢days have added to ⁢the tension.
