Tunisians take to the streets to protest the country's rule

TUNISIANS took to the streets of the capital on Saturday to protest over “the deteriorating state of the country.”
In one of the largest protests this year, hundreds of Tunisians marched peacefully in Tunis and called for an end to the “police state.”
Khaled Ben Abdeslam, a father and urban development consultant, said: “We’re here to say No and show that we don’t all agree with what’s really happening in the country.”
