Protest Marks Three-Year Detention Of President's Critics In 'Conspiracy Against State Security' Case In Tunis

Wives of dissidents stretch out a long iron chain as they hold roses during a demonstration organized by the Families of Political Prisoners Coordination Committee in Tunis, Tunisia, on February 14, 2026. The demonstration brings together families of detainees, members of opposition parties, and human rights organizations, marking three years since the detention of critics of Tunisian President Kais Saied in the case known as the ''conspiracy against state security.'' The protest aims to express solidarity with prominent opposition figures imprisoned in the case. Participants denounce what they describe as an escalating government crackdown on dissidents, protest President Kais Saied's rule and policies, and call for the release of all political detainees.
