Activists plan to protest outside Italian embassy in Tunis, Tunisia, April 17. Increased security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to demonstrate outside the Embassy of Italy in Tunis from 10:00 April 17 against Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's visit to Tunisia. Protesters claim that Tunisian migrants in Italy are often subject to poor treatment and forced deportations. Dozens to a hundred individuals could attend the demonstration.
Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Embassy of Italy the morning of April 17. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse.
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 17.
