Several citizens were turned away this Saturday, July 24, 2021, at toll stations despite possessing permits or hotel reservations.
Police checks were stepped up over the weekend to fulfil the measure declared earlier this month, particularly the ban on travel between governorates.
The police officers, therefore, proceeded to the examination of each authorization and asked the citizens the reasons for their displacement, several were ordered to turn around.
In Hammamet, drivers forced a roadblock stating it was unfair that a few cars were permitted to pass while many others were ordered to turn around. The delegate of the region emphasised that the police are only applying the decision of the governor of Nabeul to bar access to the governorate, specifying that the police presence has nothing to do with the social movements announced for tomorrow.
