A demonstrator shouts slogans while raising a placard featuring the portrait of imprisoned lawyer and former judge, Ahmed Souab, during a mass march that brings together thousands of supporters of opposition parties across the political spectrum, human rights and civil society activists, and ordinary Tunisians, in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 6, 2025, to protest under the banner ''Opposition Is Not A Crime.'' They decry what they call a growing crackdown on President Kais Saied's critics and opposition parties, as well as on civil liberties, individual rights, freedom of expression, and press freedom. Participants denounce what they describe as an increasingly authoritarian and dictatorial one-man rule by the Tunisian president. The crowd expresses solidarity with opposition figures imprisoned in connection with the case known as the ''conspiracy against state security,'' demanding their release. Under President Kais Saied's rule since 2021, Tunisia sees the dissolution of parliament, the dismissal of the government, the adoption of a new constitution, the dismissal of dozens of judges, the arrest of political opponents, critics, and journalists, while the activities of dozens of organizations are suspended.

27 January 2022

A sign urging passage of the Equal Rights Amendment sits on a bench in Lafayette Square before the beginning of a rally and march for the Equal Rights Amendment on January 27, 2022, in Washington, DC. Protesters demanded the the deadline for ratification by the states (an unusual condition for a proposed amendment) be removed and the ERA ratified, and delivered a petition to Attorney General Merrick Garland, calling on him to take the next step in the ratification process. The ERA would prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender in the US Constitution, meaning it would no longer be subject to judicial review of legislation. The rally marks the second anniversary of Virginia’s ratification of the ERA in 2020, reaching the necessary 38 states for ratification of the Amendment.
