Description |
More than 3,000 demonstraters marched toward the Interior Ministry headquarters to express outrage against recent, coordinated acts of vandalism on UGTT offices. The protests condemned Ennadha, the Islamist majority coalition party, for organizing the attacks in order to silence governmental opposition. Security forces attempted to usher the protesters away from the Ministry. After several isolated clashes occurred between police officers and the crowd, the police used to tear gas to disperse the gathering. The Tunisian Communist Workers' Party (POCT ) and centre-left "Ettajid" party were also present. |
