A demonstrator was killed in the central Tunisian town of Gafsa overnight Friday during a march protesting the assassination of opposition MP Mohamed Brahmi, an AFP correspondent reported. Mohamed Moufli, 45, was killed as police used tear gas to break up the night-time march. He was struck in the head by a tear gas canister and died soon afterwards in hospital.
Thousands demonstrated across Tunisia and the main General Union of Tunisian Labour (UGTT) staged a general strike Friday in protest at the assassination of Brahmi the day before. (AFP)
