Emergency demonstration against repression in Tunisia!



See facebook event here.



There is an emergency for the revolutionary movement in Tunisia - the government is carrying out massive police repression! Demonstrate against Tunisian state brutality and support demonstrators in Tunisia!


Since Thursday 5 May, the Tunisian police have been carrying out a campaign of repression against demonstrators, on a scale not seen since the overthrow of Ben Ali on January 14. The Tunisian police, who are still commanded by... old-regime loyalists, charged and beat demonstrators, including children. Police in black balaclavas shot huge quantities of tear-gas into crowds. As far as we know, no activists were arrested – just beaten. Leftwing activists and journalists were targeted in particular, and publishing houses were raided by the police following the disturbances. The government has now declared a state of emergency and a curfew.


Tell all your friends that this is a crucial moment for the revolution in Tunisia. We need to make the biggest show of support possible on Friday.
