"Tunisian protesters took to the streets in a growing chorus of dissent, demanding greater press freedom and the release of political prisoners. The demonstrations came as the North African country's fragile democracy continues to grapple with the legacy of its 2011 revolution, which overthrew long-time dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. Protesters are calling for an end to the government's crackdown on independent media outlets and the release of dozens of opposition activists who have been detained on charges of terrorism and other crimes. As the situation in Tunisia escalates, observers are watching closely to see whether the government will respond to the protesters' demands or crack down further."
