Mass march in Tunisia stands with Palestinian people

The Popular Front of Tunisia called a mass demonstration on Avenue Habib Bourgiba in Tunis in support of the Palestinian people’s uprising and denouncing the brutal Zionist aggression against the Palestinian people. The demonstration included the participation of crowds of Tunisians, including lawyers, journalists, popular organizations and political figures.

The march raised slogans expressing outrage toward the positions of Arab governments on Palestine, carrying Palestinian and Tunisian flags, PFLP banners, and posters of the martyrs and prisoners, including imprisoned PFLP General Secretary Comrade Ahmad Sa’adat and imprisoned Lebanese struggler in French prisons, Comrade Georges Abdallah. 

The protest also comes in conjunction with other movements in Tunisia at this time, in particular the popular demand to abolish the so-called Reconciliation Act, which paves the way for the return of corrupt business figures to economic and political power. 

The event also included a tent in solidarity with Georges Abdallah, in which young Tunisians sent solidarity messages to the imprisoned comrade and denounced the French state’s ongoing imprisonment of a liberation struggler.
