Organizers announced that the main protest would be outside the Tunisian Union of Industry, Trade and Handicrafts (UTICA) in Tunis. Associated demonstrations will also likely occur outside government buildings and main squares nationwide. Hundreds of individuals are likely to participate in the actions.
