Hundreds of Tunisians march trough Tunis against Kais Saied’s crackdown on opposition

Tunisians took to the streets on Saturday for a third straight week to protest against President Kais Saied’s expanding crackdown on the opposition, critics and NGOs, urging the release of political prisoners. Protests against Saied are growing as rights groups accuse him of using the judiciary and police to suppress opponents and to cement an autocratic one-man rule.
