Tight security in Tunis amid protest against Clinton visit

None

Dozens of Tunisians marched in Tunis under tight security Wednesday to protest a visit by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the first by a senior US official since the downfall of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.

 

Dozens of riot police were deployed along with two army helicopters and an armoured personnel carrier equipped with water hoses as demonstrators chanted: "No to normalisation, Tunisia is free and not for sale" or "Tunisia is an Arab country, neither imperialist nor Zionist." (AFP)
