Scuffles erupt between the police and the family members of the detained political opposition figures as they are prevented from entering the court to attend the trial's second remote hearing in the so-called ''conspiracy against state security'' case in Tunis, Tunisia, on April 11, 2025. Moments earlier, the relatives and families of detained political opposition figures gather in front of the court to support the detainees and protest against what they consider an unfair and invalid trial. They also demand the release of the detainees and accuse the Tunisian president, Kais Saied, of using the judiciary to persecute those who oppose his policies. In this context, professor and political opposition figure Jawhar Ben Mbarek, one of the most prominent detainees, is on hunger strike since March 30 in protest at his continued arbitrary detention. Since February, Tunisia sees a wave of arrests of journalists, activists, judges, businessmen, and politicians, including the leader of the Ennahda party, Rached Ghannouchi, who is detained since April 2023.
