Photojournalist Islam Hakiri, the one who took this shot below, has been detained since Sunday and will be having a court hearing this morning. Hakiri was doing his job but somehow a police officer accused him of assault.

“Paved way for consolidation of Saeid’s dictatorship”!!! No it’s called giving someone the benefit of the doubt and people being desperate for just a glimpse of hope, please spare us your judgmental comments, things aren’t either just black or white, reality is far more striking

Shocked, I tell you, just shocked. Those who fretted about calling this a coup a la “let’s see what happens” 2 months ago paved way for consolidation of Saied’s dictatorship. No parliament, no constitution, but let’s sit on our hands a bit longer yes?

Why the f*** are you sending us your condolences? Are we dead? Am I dead? Yesterday I tweeted I was a Zombie but it was coz I felt tired not dead. You hear me, we’re tired but not dead & certainly our country isn’t dead either 😏

Natacha (left of pic) told me that she suffered a miscarriage after getting beat up by her landlord & ppl in her neighborhood of Raoued to forcibly get her out of her home. Natacha spent two weeks traveling border to border from Sierra Leone before reaching Tunisia 4 months ago.
