Tunisia: Political party to protest in Tunis, June 19

Event

The Free Destourien Party plan to stage a sit-in protest at the Municipal Theatre on Habib Bourguiba Street in Tunis from 09:30 June 19. The action is being led to protest perceived government discrimination against the party.

Police will almost certainly deploy to monitor the protest. Heightened security measures and localized transport and business disruptions are likely for the duration of the gathering. Violence is unlikely.

Advice

Avoid the protest as a standard security precaution. Plan for increased security and localized transport disruptions near the demonstration site. Follow all police instructions.
