“Fetters Will Break Open” March Marking Human Rights Day In Tunis

Supporters hold up a banner featuring the portrait of Abir Moussi, a prominent opposition figure and president of the Free Destourian Party (Free Constitutional Party), during the annual ''Rights and Freedoms'' march organized by the Tunisian League for the Defense of Human Rights (LTDH) to mark the 77th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, also known as Human Rights Day, in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 13, 2025. Abir Moussi is sentenced to 12 years in prison on charges of 'assault with intent to cause chaos'. The march, held under the slogan ''Fetters Will Break Open,'' brings together demonstrators from political parties, civil society groups, and human rights organizations, denouncing what they describe as escalating repression of dissidents and critics under President Kais Saied. Participants protest the crackdown on freedoms and human rights, including restrictions on free speech and press freedom. (Photo by Chedly Ben Ibrahim/NurPhoto)
