For the third consecutive week, Tunisians have taken to the streets, voicing discontent with President Kais Saied's growing clampdown on opposition and civil society groups.

Rights organizations claim that Saied employs the judiciary to eliminate adversaries, consolidating one-man rule. Saied, however, denies allegations of autocracy or judicial misuse.

This unrest comes amid harsh sentences for dozens linked to purported plots against Saied, further inflamed by recent arrests of key opposition figures.
