Tunisia: Magistrates to protest outside the Court of Appeals in Tunis on Feb. 24

Event

The Association of Tunisian Magistrates plans to demonstrate outside the Court of Appeals in Tunis Feb. 24. The purpose of the gathering is to denounce President Kais Saied's decision to dissolve the Superior Council of the Judiciary (CSM) Feb. 6. The event will likely be well attended.

Police will almost certainly increase security to monitor the demonstration. Localized transport and business disruptions are possible. Clashes may occur, particularly if security personnel attempt to disperse the protesters.

Advice

Avoid the protest site as a precaution. Plan accordingly for traffic disruptions near the impact site during the gathering; allow extra time to reach nearby destinations. Immediately depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Heed the instructions of local authorities.
