Activists plan to protest outside Court of Appeal in Tunis, Tunisia, Aug. 20. Increased security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to protest outside the Court of Appeal in Tunis from 09:00 Aug. 20. Protesters are demanding that authorities release lawyer and political commentator Sonia Dahmani, who received a one-year prison sentence in July. Dozens to a hundred individuals could attend the demonstration.
Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Court of Appeal the morning of Aug. 20. 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 to reach destinations near the affected area Aug. 20.
