Tunisia: Activists plan protest near Municipal Theater in Tunis, Sept. 22

Activists plan protest near Municipal Theater on Avenue Habib Bourguiba in Tunis, Tunisia, from 14:00 Sept. 22. Increased security likely.

Warning

The Tunisian Network of Rights and Freedoms has called for a protest in front of the Municipal Theater on Avenue Habib Bourguiba in Tunis from 14:00 Sept. 22. The action is to denounce proposed amendments to the electoral law ahead of the country's Oct. 6 elections. Hundreds of individuals could attend the demonstration.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the rally sites and march route. 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 on Sept. 22.
