26 Apr 2025

A demonstrator raises a placard reading in French, ''freedom of speech is a constitutional right,'' during a demonstration organized by the family of lawyer and former judge Ahmed Souab, alongside hundreds of civil society activists, representatives of national and human rights organizations, and journalists in Tunis, Tunisia, on April 25, 2025, to protest the detention of Ahmed Souab and to express their support for him. Demonstrators chant iconic slogans from the Tunisian revolution, including ''Labor, Liberty, and Dignity for All,'' while also calling for the fall of President Kais Saied's regime. Ahmed Souab is recently arrested by the police after making critical remarks to the press about the harsh sentences handed down in the so-called ''conspiracy against state security'' case. A detention warrant is issued against him on terrorism charges. Ahmed Souab is part of the legal team representing prominent political figures in the case, who are sentenced in the first instance to prison terms ranging from 13 to 66 years.

Detainees' Families Protest Second Hearing In 'Conspiracy Against State Security' Case In Tunis

11 Apr 2025 · Tunis, Tunisia

11 Apr 2025

A general view of the court of First Instance in Tunis, Tunisia, on April 11, 2025, shows a protest organized by human rights activists, civil society organizations, and relatives and families of detained political opposition figures. The protest supports the detainees in the so-called ''conspiracy against state security'' case during the second remote hearing of the court. The demonstrators demand a public trial and reject the remote trial previously decided by the court. They also protest against what they consider an unfair and invalid trial, calling for the release of the detainees and accusing the Tunisian president, Kais Saied, of using the judiciary to persecute those who reject his policies. In this context, professor and political opposition figure Jawhar Ben Mbarek, one of the most prominent detainees, is on hunger strike since March 30 in protest at his continued arbitrary detention. Since February, Tunisia sees a wave of arrests of journalists, activists, judges, businessmen, and politicians, including the leader of the Ennahda party, Rached Ghannouchi, who is detained since April 2023.

Several hundred protesters demonstrate outside a Tesla showroom in Manhattan, United States, on March 8, 2025. This is the latest instance of nationwide actions against the businesses of tech billionaire Elon Musk. Some protesters enter the dealership, and six are arrested. The protests express fierce opposition to the Trump Administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), headed by Musk, which institutes widespread federal budget cuts and mass layoffs without congressional approval.
