Hundreds of protesters took to the streets on National Women’s Day, demanding the release of women arrested for criticizing President Kais Saied.
Arrests of opposition figures have increased since Saied took power in 2021, including prominent women in society. The head of the Women and Citizenship Association, Karima Brini, expressed her dissatisfaction with the continued imprisonment of women for their political positions and community activities.
These demonstrations come at a sensitive time, as supporters of the Free Destourian Party gathered to demand the release of their leader, Abir Moussi, who has been imprisoned since last October and sentenced to two years in prison.
The ruling came after she ran for president, sparking controversy over freedom of expression and the deteriorating political conditions in Tunisia.
Politicians believe that current President Kais Saied is working to eliminate his rivals by all means, in addition to accusing him of restricting freedoms and reviving the politics of the old era.
