Hundreds march in Tunis demanding press freedom and release of political prisoners

Sunday, 7 June 2026, 06:12 · 1 min read

Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Tunis (Tunisia's capital) to demand press freedom and the release of political prisoners held under President Kais Saied's ongoing crackdown on dissent. Among those detained is Rached Ghannouchi, leader of the Islamist-rooted Ennahda party, one of the most prominent opposition figures imprisoned since Saied began consolidating power. The demonstrations reflect deepening concern among civil society groups over the erosion of democratic freedoms in the country that was once seen as the Arab Spring's only success story.
