A demonstrator raises a placard featuring a hand-drawn portrait of the imprisoned lawyer and prominent opposition figure, Ayachi Hammami, with text in Arabic reading ''my friend'' during a mass march in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 6, 2025. The march brings together thousands of supporters of opposition parties across the political spectrum, human rights and civil society activists, and ordinary Tunisians to protest under the banner ''Opposition Is Not A Crime.'' They decry what they call a growing crackdown on President Kais Saied's critics and opposition parties, as well as on civil liberties, individual rights, freedom of expression, and press freedom. Participants denounce what they describe as an increasingly authoritarian and dictatorial one-man rule by the Tunisian president. The crowd expresses solidarity with opposition figures imprisoned in connection with the case known as the ''conspiracy against state security,'' demanding their release. Under President Kais Saied's rule since 2021, Tunisia sees the dissolution of parliament, the dismissal of the government, the adoption of a new constitution, the dismissal of dozens of judges, the arrest of political opponents, critics, and journalists, while the activities of dozens of organizations are suspended.

A Tunisian journalist wears a red armband and shouts slogans through a megaphone during a demonstration organized by the National Union of Tunisian Journalists (SNJT) that brings together dozens of journalists outside the Prime Minister's Office at Government Square in the Casbah, Tunis, Tunisia, on November 20, 2025, to demand press freedoms and improved working conditions. The rally denounces what journalists describe as systematic restrictions on media and press independence, including the refusal to issue or renew press cards and accreditations for both local and foreign journalists. Tunisian journalists also decry the repressive use of Decree-Law 54, which they say targets critical reporting rather than combating misinformation. International press freedom organizations, including the IFJ, view these measures as part of a broader crackdown on independent journalism.

A vandalized inauguration plaque bearing the National Emblem is seen at the Hazratbal Shrine in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on September 5, 2025. Devotees vandalize an inauguration plaque bearing the National Emblem at the revered Hazratbal Shrine in Srinagar. Jammu and Kashmir Waqf Board Chairperson Dr. Darakhshan Andrabi condemns the incident as an ''attack on faith'' and announces that FIRs will be filed against those involved, including a sitting MLA. The ruling National Conference (NC), however, describes the move as an act against faith. The incident quickly escalates into a political row. Member of Parliament and National Conference (NC) leader Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi says that branding Kashmiris as ''terrorists'' for expressing anger over matters that hurt their religious sentiments, and demanding punitive laws like the PSA, reflects the BJP's ''communal mindset.''
