Tunisian Opposition Leads Mass Protest Against Injustice In Tunis
Protesters hold a large banner reading in Arabic ''a president who knows nothing but injustice and threats,'' while others wave the Tunisian flag during a mass rally organized under the slogan ''March Against Injustice'' in Tunis, Tunisia, on November 22, 2025. Organized by the support committee for imprisoned former judge and lawyer Ahmed Souab, the protest denounces President Kais Saied's policies. The demonstration, bringing together opposition political parties from across the spectrum along with Gen Z activists, human rights groups, and civil society members dressed in black, denounces what participants describe as President Saied's authoritarian and repressive rule. The Tunisian opposition, joined by local and international human rights groups, demands the release of political prisoners and condemns what they view as an assault on democracy, citing the erosion of institutions through an escalating crackdown on dissent, judicial independence, press freedom, and human rights. They warn that Saied's rule drives a broader democratic backslide. (Photo by Chedly Ben Ibrahim/NurPhoto) -

Tunis Rally Shows Solidarity With Opposition Prisoners On Hunger Strike
An elderly woman attends a demonstration that brings together supporters of the National Salvation Front, the Republican Party, and families of imprisoned prominent opposition figures in Tunis, Tunisia, on November 15, 2025. The demonstration aims to show solidarity with prominent opposition figures sentenced to long prison terms at first instance in the case known as the ''conspiracy against state security,'' who are currently on hunger strike in prison. For more than two weeks, political opponent and law professor Jaouhar Ben Mbarek, who is sentenced to a long prison term in the same case, is on a wild hunger strike in his prison cell. According to his lawyers and family, his health deteriorates, and he is reportedly violently assaulted in prison by both inmates and prison officers. In solidarity with Jaouhar Ben Mbarek, other prominent political figures, including Rached Ghannouchi, Ghazi Chaouachi, and Issam Chebbi, imprisoned in the same case, as well as former judge and lawyer Ahmed Souab, also start a hunger strike. They all decry the 'politically motivated' convictions, the poor conditions of their incarceration, and a trial that does not meet the standards of a fair and impartial process.

Violent protests in Athens on rail crash anniversary
Feb. 28, 2025 – Sydagma, parliament square, Athens, Greece: Maria Karystianou, a mother who tragically lost her 20-year-old daughter in the Tempi railway disaster, which claimed the lives of 57 people, has become a tragic heroine, uniting the people of Greece under a simple cause: justice. Hundreds of thousands of Greeks went on strike and took to the streets in nationwide demonstrations, marking the second anniversary of the country's deadliest train crash. Fifty-seven people were killed when a passenger train carrying students collided with a freight train on February 28, 2023, in central Greece. The tragedy has come to symbolize the long-standing neglect of the country’s infrastructure, both in the decades leading up to the crash and in the two years that have followed. In one of the largest protests in Greece in years, public services and many private businesses came to a standstill as people flooded the streets of cities and towns, chanting "murderers" in protest against what they believe is the state's role in the disaster. Karystianou addressed 'the murderers of our children,' saying: 'You insulted and treated the dead with contempt. You committed the greatest sacrilege and you will receive what is due from the pulse of Nemesis. It is the souls of our children who guide us. The river of truth has no turning back. Justice will come. With it, it will bring infinite oxygen. Love conquers all. The government, however, denies any wrongdoing. A sea of people gathered in Athens' Syntagma Square, in front of parliament, where protesters spray-painted the names of the deceased in red on the ground. The slogan "I have no oxygen" – the last words of a woman in a call to emergency services – echoed in chants across the country. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' center-right government, which won re-election after the crash in 2023, has faced ongoing criticism from the victims' families for failing to launch a parliamentary inquiry into political responsibility
