  • TUNIS, TUNISIA - 25 JULY 2013: People rallied in Avenue Habib Bourguiba in front of the Interior Ministry to protest against the assassination of opposition leader Mohamed Brahmi in Tunis, Tunisia, on July 25th 2013.<br />
<br />
Tunisia, birthplace of the Arab Spring revolutionary movement, was plunged into a new political crisis on Thursday when assassins shot Mohamed Brahmi, 58, leader of the Arab nationalist People’s Party, an opposition party leader outside his home in a hail of gunfire.<br />
<br />
The assassination, which coincided with celebrations for the 56th anniversary of Tunisian statehood after independence from France, came as Tunisia was still grappling with a democratic transition following the January 2011 revolution that toppled the country’s autocratic leader, Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, and forced him into exile. The Tunisian revolution was the catalyst that spawned similar uprisings in Egypt, Libya, Yemen and Syria.

  • Kairouan, Tunisia - 18 December, 2011: Said Ferjani, 57, senior member of the political and communication bureau of the Nahda (Renaissance) party, prays at dawn at the  Great Mosque of Sidi-Uqba in Kairouan, Tunisia on 18 December, 2011. In the 24 October 2011 Tunisian Constituent Assembly election, the first elections since the Tunisian Revolution, the party won 40% of the vote, and 89 of the 217 assembly seats, far more than any other party. Said Ferjani started his activism in the Negra mosque of his hometown Kairouan when he was 16 years old, debating on politics, philosophy, economy and world events. In 1989 former dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali turned against Nahda (or Ennahda) and jailed 25,000 activists. Said Ferjani was jailed and tortured. He then flew Tunisia and moved to the UK. He came back to Tunisia after 22 years, after former dictator Ben Ali flew the country.<br />

  • Tunis, Tunisia - 19 December, 2011: Lina Ben Mhenni, 28, cyber activist author of the popular blog "A Tunisian Girl" and teaching assistant of linguistics at the University of Tunis, is photographed in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 19, 2011. Her influential blog, which was censored under Zine El Abidine Ben Ali’s rule, was one of the most revealing and scathing criticisms of Tunisian society, focusing particularly on issues like women’s rights and press freedom. When unrest began in Tunisia in January 2011, Ben Mhenni began traveling across the country to take photos and video footage of both the protests and people she says were killed in the ensuing government crackdowns. She visited local hospitals and took pictures of those injured or killed by the police. She risked her safety as one of the only Tunisians to criticize the repressive government openly on international broadcasts before the “Jasmine Revolution" began. Described as one of the bravest bloggers in the world, much of Ben Mhenni’s writing focuses on freedom of expression and the rights of women and studentsonly Tunisians to criticize the repressive government openly on international broadcasts before the “Jasmine Revolution" began.

In the 24 October 2011 Tunisian Constituent Assembly election, the first elections since the Tunisian Revolution, the party won 40% of the vote, and 89 of the 217 assembly seats, far more than any other party. Said Ferjani started his activism in the Negra mosque of his hometown Kairouan when he was 16 years old, debating on politics, philosophy, economy and world events. In 1989 former dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali turned against Nahda (or Ennahda) and jailed 25,000 activists. Said Ferjani was jailed and tortured. He then flew Tunisia and moved to the UK. He came back to Tunisia after 22 years, after former dictator Ben Ali flew the country.<br />

  • Tunis, Tunisia - 19 December, 2011: Lina Ben Mhenni, 28, cyber activist author of the popular blog "A Tunisian Girl" and teaching assistant of linguistics at the University of Tunis, is photographed in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 19, 2011. Her influential blog, which was censored under Zine El Abidine Ben Ali’s rule, was one of the most revealing and scathing criticisms of Tunisian society, focusing particularly on issues like women’s rights and press freedom. When unrest began in Tunisia in January 2011, Ben Mhenni began traveling across the country to take photos and video footage of both the protests and people she says were killed in the ensuing government crackdowns. She visited local hospitals and took pictures of those injured or killed by the police. She risked her safety as one of the only Tunisians to criticize the repressive government openly on international broadcasts before the “Jasmine Revolution" began. Described as one of the bravest bloggers in the world, much of Ben Mhenni’s writing focuses on freedom of expression and the rights of women and studentsonly Tunisians to criticize the repressive government openly on international broadcasts before the “Jasmine Revolution" began.

  • TUNIS, TUNISIA - 25 JULY 2013: People rallied in Avenue Habib Bourguiba in front of the Interior Ministry to protest against the assassination of opposition leader Mohamed Brahmi in Tunis, Tunisia, on July 25th 2013.<br />
<br />
Tunisia, birthplace of the Arab Spring revolutionary movement, was plunged into a new political crisis on Thursday when assassins shot Mohamed Brahmi, 58, leader of the Arab nationalist People’s Party, an opposition party leader outside his home in a hail of gunfire.<br />
<br />
The assassination, which coincided with celebrations for the 56th anniversary of Tunisian statehood after independence from France, came as Tunisia was still grappling with a democratic transition following the January 2011 revolution that toppled the country’s autocratic leader, Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, and forced him into exile. The Tunisian revolution was the catalyst that spawned similar uprisings in Egypt, Libya, Yemen and Syria.

When unrest began in Tunisia in January 2011, Ben Mhenni began traveling across the country to take photos and video footage of both the protests and people she says were killed in the ensuing government crackdowns.

  • Tunis, Tunisia - 19 December, 2011: Lina Ben Mhenni, 28, cyber activist author of the popular blog "A Tunisian Girl" and teaching assistant of linguistics at the University of Tunis, is photographed in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 19, 2011. Her influential blog, which was censored under Zine El Abidine Ben Ali’s rule, was one of the most revealing and scathing criticisms of Tunisian society, focusing particularly on issues like women’s rights and press freedom. When unrest began in Tunisia in January 2011, Ben Mhenni began traveling across the country to take photos and video footage of both the protests and people she says were killed in the ensuing government crackdowns. She visited local hospitals and took pictures of those injured or killed by the police. She risked her safety as one of the only Tunisians to criticize the repressive government openly on international broadcasts before the “Jasmine Revolution" began. Described as one of the bravest bloggers in the world, much of Ben Mhenni’s writing focuses on freedom of expression and the rights of women and students.<br />
