Demonstrators raise a banner featuring a portrait of the prominent opposition figure Ayachi Hammami, with the text he declares before being arrested and taken to prison in connection with the case known as 'conspiracy against the state security': ''We will transform the prison into a square symbol of the struggle,'' during a rally organized outside the headquarters of the Tunisian General Labour Union (French: UGTT) ahead of a march toward the mausoleum of union leader Farhat Hached in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 4, 2025, marking the 73rd anniversary of his assassination. The commemoration escalates into a protest against President Kais Saied's economic and social policies. Trade unionists demand the protection of union rights and freedoms, as well as the resumption of social dialogue and salary negotiations. The UGTT denounces that the planned salary increases in the private and public sectors, as outlined in the 2026 Finance Bill, will be implemented without any social dialogue with the government. The confrontation between the UGTT and President Kais Saied's government reflects a broader political crisis that unfolds since 2021, raising concerns among trade unions and civil society actors. The UGTT warns of a potential general strike.

The President of the National Union of Tunisian Journalists (SNJT), Zied Dabbar (center), gives an interview to the press as he participates in a 'silent' demonstration organized by the SNJT outside the Court of Appeal in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 2, 2025, in solidarity with the imprisoned journalist Chadha Hadj Mbarek. In a statement released yesterday, the SNJT calls for her release, for her trial to be conducted while she is at liberty, and for the dismissal of all charges against her. Chadha, sentenced to five years in prison in the first instance in the case known as 'Instalingo', appears on appeal before the judges. She faces charges of conspiracy against state security, disturbing public order, and insulting President Kais Saied. The case also involves other figures, including Ennahda Islamist party leader Rached Ghannouchi and former Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi. Instalingo, where Chadha is employed, is (or was) a company specializing in digital content creation, communication, and digital marketing. In recent years, the authorities under President Kais Saied accuse, charge, arrest, detain, or imprison journalists for doing their job. Tunisian journalists and civil society groups denounce what they describe as a crackdown on the freedom of the press aiming to silence them. International human rights groups and press freedom advocates, including Amnesty International and Reporters Without Borders (RWB; French: Reporters sans frontieres; RSF), condemn the imprisonment of Chadha Hadj Mbarek and call for her immediate release.
