Tunisia: Journalists to rally outside Tunis Court of First Instance April 5

The National Union of Tunisian Journalists has called for a rally outside the Tunis Court of First Instance on April 5 to demand justice for a local journalist whom authorities have detained on a few charges, including suspicion of terrorism. The start time of the action is unclear. Dozens to a hundred individuals could attend the demonstration

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Tunis Court of First Instance. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse.
