| Description |
Salafists demanded four works of art be taken down because they were offensive to sacred values. Supporters of the exhibit faced off with the men outside the gallery. That night, the salafists broke into the gallery and slashed multiple canvases and dismantled an installation. The following day, rioters tried to force their way into the gallery. In Tunis, police fired tear gas at salafists who torched and pillaged a courthouse and multiple police stations. In Jendouba, a Salafist attacked a security guard. |
