Activists affiliated with the National Syndicate of Tunisian Journalists (SNJT) plan to protest outside the Court of First Instance in Tunis from 10:00 May 22 to demand the release of two imprisoned colleagues; the protest coincides with their trial. Dozens to a hundred individuals could attend the demonstration.
Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Court of First Instance on the morning of May 22. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, mainly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse.
