Tunisia-Demonstrations: UGTT strongly condemns police violence

The Tunisian General Labor Union (UGTT) strongly denounced the extreme violence perpetrated by the security forces against the peaceful demonstrators who participated in a march organized yesterday Friday at Avenue Habib Bourguiba in Tunis, to protest the draft of the new Constitution, the subject of the current referendum of July 25, calling for an inquiry to be opened into this incident and the release of those apprehended during this demonstration.

In a press release published on Saturday, the UGTT held the President of the Republic, Kais Saied accountable for this “dictatorial deviation”, calling on him to put an end to any repressive approach and rejecting the involvement of national security agents in political conflicts. The UGTT voiced its support and solidarity with the demonstrators, rejecting any attack targeting them and condemning the extreme violence carried out against the demonstrators, the journalists and the president of the National Union of Tunisian Journalists, Mehdi Jlassi.

The UGTT reiterated the commitment of trade unionists to safeguard the rights of expression and demonstration, the main achievements of a long journey of activism and sacrifices made by several generations.
