A long-term protest encampment featuring banners and placards is situated outside the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office on King Charles Street in London, England, United Kingdom, on December 24, 2025. The protest, led by British-Iranian activist Vahid Beheshti, marks day 1037 of a sit-in campaign urging the UK government to proscribe Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization. Critics question the Foreign Office's decision to maintain sanctions instead of a full terror designation, a move proponents argue improves domestic security and addresses alleged assassination plots on UK soil.

Protesters attend 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.
