Tunisians rally for political prisoners' release on uprising anniversary

Tunisians protested on Tuesday in the capital on the 14th anniversary of the uprising that sparked the Arab Spring revolts across the region, calling to release jailed political figures. The dozens-strong march in Tunis, organized by a political coalition that includes staunch opponents of current President Kais Saied, commemorated the day in 2011 when dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was ousted. The protesters expressed their anger at Saied's administration, accusing the judiciary of acting on the government's "orders" and demanding an end to a crackdown on the president's political opponents.
