Tunisia: Public engineers to demonstrate in Tunis April 2

Event

Public engineers have announced plans for a sit-in protest outside the headquarters of the Tunisian Engineers Deanship in Tunis from 09:00 April 2. The demonstration is in response to a series of unresolved issues, including salary and promotion demands. Hundreds of people will likely participate in the gathering.

Authorities will likely increase security to monitor the protest. Localized transport disruptions are possible. Clashes between security personnel and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if protesters are overly disruptive or refuse to disperse.

Advice

Avoid the protest due to possible skirmishes. Follow all security personnel instructions. Allow additional travel time in the area.
