On Saturday, a crowd of demonstrators gathered in Tunis, Tunisia, advocating for the release of four Global Sumud Flotilla activists. The protesters' concern grew as one of the detainees had embarked on a second month of a hunger strike. The march began at the headquarters of the Tunisian National Journalists’ Union (SNJT) and proceeded to Avenue Habib Bourguiba in the city's central area.
Carrying the national and Palestinian flags, along with portraits of the four detainees, the protesters chanted for their release and called for an end to the case against them. They also protested against the government with anti-government slogans.
The protest occurred shortly after a court had extended the pre-trial detention of Wael Naouar, Ghassen Henchiri, Ghassen Boughdiri, and Nabil Channoufi by an additional four months. These individuals have been in custody since March, following an investigation into alleged financial irregularities tied to fundraising efforts for the flotilla, according to Tunisian state media quoting judicial sources.
