Tunisia: Activists plan to protest outside Municipal Theatre in Tunis Jan. 28

Event

Activists plan to protest outside the Municipal Theatre in Tunis from 12:00 Jan. 28 to show solidarity with the Palestinian people. The action comes after Israeli forces killed nine Palestinians during a security operation in Jenin Jan. 26. Dozens to hundreds of individuals could attend the demonstration.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Municipal Theatre the afternoon of Jan. 28. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse.

Advice

Avoid the protest due to the potential for clashes. Heed the advice of security personnel. Allow additional time if traveling through the affected area Jan. 28.
