Story summary

On Saturday, dozens of protesters marched from the headquarters of the Tunisian National Journalists’ Union (SNJT) to Avenue Habib Bourguiba in central Tunis, demanding the release of four Global Sumud Flotilla activists held since March 2025. The demonstration followed a court's decision to extend their pre-trial detention by another four months due to alleged financial irregularities linked to fundraising for the flotilla. Protesters carried Tunisian and Palestinian flags, portraits of the detainees, and chanted slogans against government repression and what they termed as "Zionist" narratives. The activists—Wael Naouar, Ghassen Henchiri, Ghassen Boughdiri, and Nabil Channoufi—are in poor health, with one on a hunger strike for over a month.
