News from Al-Madinah: Since a young guy was killed by his wounds from his wounded during a security pursuit, the protests and late-night altercations between young men and Tunisian police forces have continued for a fifth day running.
In addition to the Al-Tadamun area, the protests spread to other well-known capital neighbourhoods such Al-Zahruni, Aqaba, Al-Ahmar, Al-Zuhur, and Ibn Khaldun from Tuesday night into Wednesday. To disperse the protestors, the police heavily employed tear gas.
According to the accounts of the people rejected by the Tunisian Ministry of Interior, a young guy from the Al-Tadamun area had died from his wounds three weeks after the police had attacked him during a chase because of the protests.
In addition to using sound bombs and gas extensively to disperse the demonstrators, the police also used rubber tyres as a source of ignition for their fires, which were put out by the protesters and security personnel playing ball and run games together.
Faker Bouzghaya, the director of the Ministry of Interior’s information office, made the interesting statement in press releases two days ago: “A number of infiltrators participated in the protests of Al-Tadamun neighbourhood and the launch neighbourhood for political purposes, and to carry out dislocation and theft operations.”

What is being promoted regarding Malik Al-Sulaimi, the slain young man, being subjected to brutality by security personnel, has several inaccuracies, according to Bouzehaya.
He explained that “a patrol stopped Malik Al -Sulaimi and his friends as a routine measure, but he fled, jumped from a high wall and fell, and all the necessary precautions were taken, consulting the Public Prosecution, and interfering to transfer the young man quickly to the hospital,” he said.
