Tunisia: Journalists plan to protest in Tunis April 11

Event

Journalists plan to protest outside the Assembly of the People's Representatives in Tunis from 09:30 April 11 to denounce the government's perceived repression of media agencies. Protesters are demanding that authorities allow them to report and broadcast parliamentary sessions.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Assembly of the People's Representatives the morning of April 11. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse.

Advice

Avoid the protest due to the potential for clashes. Heed the advice of security personnel. Allow additional time if traveling through the affected area April 11.
