💨 Abstract

Tunisians held two protests on Wednesday, demanding the release of political prisoners and criticizing President Kais Saied's rule as authoritarian. Six opposition figures are on a hunger strike in prison, refusing to participate in an "unfair trial." Saied seized extra powers in 2021, shutting down the elected parliament and assuming authority over the judiciary, which the opposition calls a coup.
