Protesters shout slogans while raising their fists and making the victory sign during a mass rally organized under the slogan ''March Against Injustice'' in Tunis, Tunisia, on November 22, 2025. The support committee for imprisoned former judge and lawyer Ahmed Souab organizes the protest to denounce President Kais Saied's policies. The demonstration brings together opposition political parties from across the spectrum along with Gen Z activists, human rights groups, and civil society members dressed in black. They denounce what participants describe as President Saied's authoritarian and repressive rule. The Tunisian opposition, joined by local and international human rights groups, demands the release of political prisoners and condemns what they view as an assault on democracy, citing the erosion of institutions through an escalating crackdown on dissent, judicial independence, press freedom, and human rights. They warn that Saied's rule drives a broader democratic backslide.

Football Ultra groups shout slogans while making the victory sign and raising their fists as they take part in the mass protest that brings together thousands of residents in Gabes, Tunisia, on October 15, 2025, to protest and demand the dismantling of the units of the Tunisian Chemical Group (GCT). The mobilization comes after a surge in cases of respiratory problems, poisonings, and illnesses affecting students at a middle school located near the phosphate processing plant, sparking anger among a population exposed to chemical risks for more than fifty years. In 2017, Tunisian authorities promise the gradual dismantling of the polluting units of the Gabes chemical complex following strong protests against pollution. However, this decision is never fully implemented, and the population continues to suffer from massive pollution.
