On May 16, Tunisian lawyers began a one-day nationwide strike, protesting against alleged police abuse and the recent arrest of two lawyers in police raids on the national bar association. Hundreds of lawyers, activists, and others demonstrated in the Tunisian capital, including outside the judicial 'Palace of Justice'. One of the arrested lawyers, Mahdi Zagrouba, was allegedly tortured in detention. The protests come amid growing opposition to repressive measures by President Kais Saied, which some describe as marking a new threshold.
