Tunis Takes To The Streets Against Racism And Fascism

A demonstrator holds a placard in Arabic reading ''Free Saadia Mosbah,'' featuring a portrait of the detained anti-racism and human rights defender and head of the NGO M'nemty, Saadia Mosbah, during a march organized by the Campaign Against the Criminalization of Civil Work to protest racism in Tunis, Tunisia, on April 11, 2026. The demonstration, which includes human rights organizations, civil society groups, and activists, addresses concerns about what participants describe as a rise in racist rhetoric and attempts to criminalize solidarity with civil, political, and trade union work. They also express concern over the targeting of activists and advocates. President Kais Saied's rhetoric has drawn criticism from human rights groups, opposition figures, and international observers, who describe it as increasingly xenophobic and authoritarian. Following his 2023 remarks on Sub-Saharan African migrants, critics say his language contributed to a climate of hostility. Supporters, however, view his stance as part of a broader agenda focused on anti-corruption efforts and national sovereignty. (Photo by Chedly Ben Ibrahim/NurPhoto)
