Demonstrators hold up placards featuring portraits of imprisoned political figures and reading 'Freedom' during a demonstration that brings together supporters of the National Salvation Front, the Republican Party, and families of imprisoned prominent opposition figures in Tunis, Tunisia, on November 15, 2025. The demonstration aims to show solidarity with prominent opposition figures sentenced to long prison terms at first instance in the case known as the ''conspiracy against state security,'' and who are currently on hunger strike in prison. For more than two weeks, political opponent and law professor Jaouhar Ben Mbarek, who is sentenced to a long prison term in the same case, is on a wild hunger strike in his prison cell. According to his lawyers and family, his health deteriorates, and he is reportedly violently assaulted in prison by both inmates and prison officers. In solidarity with Jaouhar Ben Mbarek, other prominent political figures including Rached Ghannouchi, Ghazi Chaouachi, and Issam Chebbi, imprisoned in the same case, as well as former judge and lawyer Ahmed Souab, also start a hunger strike. They all decry the 'politically motivated' convictions, the poor conditions of their incarceration, and a trial that does not meet the standards of a fair and impartial process.
