Tunisia: Secondary education teachers to protest across country Nov. 26

Event

The General Federation of Secondary Education has called on teachers to protest across Tunisia 10:00-12:00 Nov. 26 to denounce a lawsuit filed against a teacher over her treatment of a student. The demonstrations will likely be well attended.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely around probable demonstration sites, including the Ministry of Education in Tunis, schools, and Regional Directorates of Education across the country. Clashes cannot be ruled out, especially if protesters are disruptive.

Advice

Avoid all related demonstrations. Monitor local media or check with trusted local contacts for updates on protests. Exercise caution near schools and popular rally sites Nov. 26. Allot extra time if planning to travel through areas likely to be affected by protest activity.
