Tunisia police and protesters clash
Tunisian police intervened using tear gas to disperse protesters in the Tandem neighborhood of the capital, following the death of a man who was detained on suspicion of drug trafficking. This occurred amid escalating economic, social, and political crises in Tunisia. The man died after being subjected to violence during his arrest, leading to protests, road blockades, burning of tires, and clashes in other towns such as Jbeniana and Aqarib, where police cars were set on fire and officers fired at protesters. These events reflect a rising wave of popular anger against the government and President Kais Saied, who is accused of undermining democracy and increasing repression of civil society. Authorities deny responsibility for the violence, blaming opposition figures and protesters for the escalation.
