“Injustice Heralds Revolution”: Popular March Targets Tunisian President In Tunis
A demonstrator raises a sign reading ''another dictator funded by the European Union,'' while another holds up a sign featuring an AI-generated symbolic image inspired by the Tunisian revolution, depicting Tunisian President Kais Saied dressed in a lawyer's gown during a popular march that brings together thousands of Tunisians, including opposition supporters, human rights activists, civil society members, and families of detained opposition figures in Tunis, Tunisia, on January 10, 2026. According to organizers, the march, taking place under the slogans ''Injustice Heralds Revolution'' and ''Revolutionary Mandate Against Tyranny,'' aims for the restoration of the spirit of the Tunisian Revolution and the defense of freedom and dignity, asserting that the revolution belongs to the people. Participants denounce an escalating crackdown on freedoms and rights, describing it as an injustice under President Kais Saied's rule. The march comes in response to President Kais Saied's claim that a pro-Saied rally on the revolution's 15th anniversary in December 2025 reflects a popular mandate, a claim that critics challenge due to limited and orchestrated turnout.
