Tunisia ends state of emergency after 3 years

Tunisia's president on Thursday lifted the state of emergency that has been in place since the outbreak of a popular revolution three years ago, and a top military chief said soldiers stationed in some of the country's most sensitive areas will return to their barracks.

 

The decree from President Moncef Marzouki said the state of emergency ordered in January 2011 is lifted across the country immediately.

 

The state of emergency was imposed by longtime President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and maintained after he was overthrown. It was repeatedly renewed. (AP)
