Approximately 2,000 demonstrators assembled in central Tunis to voice opposition against detained dissidents, diminishing civil liberties and deteriorating economic circumstances affecting the North African nation. The gathering represented one of the largest public displays of discontent in recent months, with participants demanding freedom for opposition politicians, media workers, legal professionals and aid personnel imprisoned under charges of conspiring against President Kais Saied or violating legislation criminalizing misinformation dissemination.

Protesters revived slogans from the 2011 Arab Spring while condemning the elected leader who consolidated power through an executive takeover. Participants highlighted declining living standards driven by inflation and expressed frustration over restricted social media expression, referencing a citizen who received and later escaped capital punishment for online criticism of government officials.
