| 2011-02-01 |
| [Maghrebia] Tunisian security forces clashed with protestors engaged in a sit-in at the Tunis Kasbah, on Friday (January 28th). Police fired teargas canisters after they were allegedly attacked by demonstrators, TAP reported. The interior ministry later denied that any protestor died in the clearing operation. The Kasbah encampment was set up after the "Caravan of Liberation" arrived from Sidi Bouzid seeking the removal of Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi. |
