TUNIS, (Reuters) - Tunisian activists protested on Tuesday near a Tunis court where prominent figures face charges of conspiring against state security in a trial that the opposition says is fabricated and a symbol of President Kais Saied's authoritarian rule.
Rights groups say the trial highlights Saied's full control over the judiciary since he dissolved the elected parliament in 2021 and began ruling by decree before later dissolving the independent Supreme Judicial Council.
