Protest On The 14th Anniversary Of Dictator Ben Ali's Flight In Tunis
Demonstrators shout slogans as others raise placards during a protest held on the occasion of the 14th Anniversary of the flight of former Tunisian President and dictator Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, following the call for demonstrations issued by the Tunisian Network for Rights and Freedoms, in Tunis, Tunisia, on January 14, 2025, to call for the preservation of the gains of the Tunisian Revolution. They also protest against what they describe as the authoritarian drift of Tunisia's President Kais Saied, as well as against the assault on democracy, freedoms, and rights by the authorities. Following a popular uprising in Tunisia between December 2010 and January 2011, which the authorities brutally repress, Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali is forced to flee the country on January 14, 2011. This date becomes the official commemoration of the Tunisian Revolution, called Revolution Day, which marks the start of the 'Arab Spring' and leads to major political changes in Tunisia. In 2021, the current president, Kais Saied, changes the date for commemorating the Revolution from January 14 to December 17. (Photo by Chedly Ben Ibrahim/NurPhoto)
