22 November 2025

Protesters hold a large banner reading in Arabic ''a president who knows nothing but injustice and threats,'' while others hold up a sign reading ''activists not criminals'' 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. They warn that Saied's rule drives a broader democratic backslide.
