Tunisian authorities arrested at least 11 people on Saturday who had gathered to demand the release of previously detained pro-Palestinian activists, according to Middle East Eye. Two lawyers and an activist group confirmed the arrests on Monday, though further details on the detainees' identities and charges were not immediately disclosed.
The arrests mark the latest action by Tunisian security forces against pro-Palestine protesters, as demonstrations supporting Palestinians have drawn significant public participation across the North African country in recent months.
