Tunisian police fire tear gas to disperse protesters in capital Tunis after a video of police stripping and beating a young man triggers widespread anger
Protesters block a street in the Sidi Hassine suburb on the northwestern outskirts of Tunis on June 12, 2021, amid outrage against policing practices following the death of a youth.
In the working-class district of Sidi Hassine, several dozen young people threw projectiles, including fireworks, at police near the station, an AFP reporter witnessed. Police responded with tear gas. His family has accused the police of having beaten him to death and the authorities have opened an investigation, but the interior ministry denied Thursday that he had died from ill-treatment following his arrest.
