''Opposition Is Not A Crime'' Protest Against Tunisia's Growing Crackdown In Tunis

A demonstrator raises a placard reading in Arabic 'Down with the coup' featuring a portrait of imprisoned prominent opposition figure Jaouhar Ben Mbarek with his sister and lawyer Dalila Mbarek Maddek during a mass march that brings together thousands of supporters of opposition parties across the political spectrum, human rights and civil society activists, and ordinary Tunisians in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 6, 2025, to protest under the banner ''Opposition Is Not A Crime,'' decrying 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.
