Tunisian security officers on Saturday (July 16th) forcibly prevented protestors from rallying for a second day in the Tunis Kasbah, TAP reported. Starting Friday, a massive police presence isolated Kasbah Square. Several journalists trying to cover the protests claimed that they were attacked by police.
The protestors' demands included the dismissal of the justice and interior ministers, an independent judiciary and the "re-constitution" of the High Commission for the Realization of Revolutionary Goals, Political Reforms and Democratic Transition.
The Tunisian Journalists' Union (SNJT) denounced the police violence at Kasbah square and said it would file a formal complaint against the interior minister. The SNJT is planning a two-hour-sit-in on Monday.
