Tunisian police use teargas on protesters in Tunis

Tunisian police used teargas on Monday to try to disperse protesters who camped out all evening at the prime minister's office as part of a campaign to remove a government linked to ousted president Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.

Reuters witnesses saw the protesters, mostly from marginalised rural areas who came to the capital on Sunday, surge into the compound area by the prime minister's office and break several windows of the Finance Ministry building. (Reuters)
