Hundreds protested in the Tunisian capital on Sunday for the release of about 20 opponents of President Kais Saied arrested since February.
Around 300 demonstrators from opposition parties waved Tunisian flags and carried signs with the images of detainees at the rally organised by the main opposition coalition, the National Salvation Front, according to AFP journalists.
Saied, who has seized almost total power since he froze parliament and sacked Tunisia's government in July 2021, claims those arrested were"terrorists" involved in a"conspiracy against state security". British-based Amnesty International last month said authorities should release the detainees arrested on"unfounded accusations".
