Protesters clash with police in Tunis, demand parliament to be restored
Sunday 14 November 2021 - 17:45

Thousands of Tunisians took to Tunis streets on Sunday to protest President Kais Saied’s power grab, as hundreds of police circled around the parliament to prevent the protesters from arriving to the building.

Shouting chants including “Shut down Kais Saied” and “Freedom! Freedom! End the police state!” protesters walked to the suspended parliament where hundreds of policemen blocked off the road.

On October 11, Tunisia’s President Kais Saied appointed a new Tunisian government , 11 weeks after he sacked the previous prime minister and assumed executive power in moves his foes call a coup.

The Ennahda-led parliament continues to be suspended.
