Protesters hold banners and Iranian flags during a rally in support of the Iranian people in front of the Pantheon in Paris, France, on January 17, 2026. Protests in Iran subside after a crackdown that kills thousands under an internet blackout, monitors say on January 16, a week after the start of the largest demonstrations in years challenging the country's theocratic system. Protests sparked by economic grievances start with a shutdown in the Tehran bazaar on December 28, 2025, but turn into a mass movement demanding the removal of the clerical system that has ruled Iran since the 1979 revolution.

Demonstrators hold up a large banner featuring a portrait of Tunisian President Kais Saied while waving Tunisian flags during a demonstration that brings together thousands of supporters of the President in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 17, 2025, in support of the president as the country marks Revolution Day, the 15th anniversary of the Tunisian revolution. Supporters also protest against the ''foreign interference'' in the internal affairs of Tunisia. The anniversary is set against a backdrop of deep division between supporters of the president and his opponents. It also unfolds amid a deep economic and social crisis, with intensified protests against President Kais Saied's policies and an escalating crackdown on opposition figures, journalists, and human rights activists since he assumes sweeping powers in July 2021. Revolution Day commemorates the start of the Tunisian revolution, triggered by the self-immolation of the street vendor, Mohamed Bouazizi, which sparks a popular uprising that leads to the flight of former President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali on January 14, 2011.

Protesters hold a large banner reading in Arabic ''a president who knows nothing but injustice and threats,'' while others wave the Tunisian flag during a mass rally organized under the slogan ''March Against Injustice'' in Tunis, Tunisia, on November 22, 2025. Organized by the support committee for imprisoned former judge and lawyer Ahmed Souab, the protest denounces President Kais Saied's policies. The demonstration, bringing together opposition political parties from across the spectrum along with Gen Z activists, human rights groups, and civil society members dressed in black, denounces 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.
