Riot police have been deployed in large quantities to separate the Tunisian community.

Opponents of Tunisian President Kais Saied protested on the streets of the capital Tunisia, accusing him of using the judiciary and police to suppress critics, while his supporters held anti-competition, highlighting a deeper political division that created a huge gap in the country.

The anti-prom demonstration was the second opposition protest in a week - reflecting the growing concern of human rights groups that the birthplace of the Arab Spring is heading towards autocratic rule.

Demonstrators shouted in major passages in the capital, such as “Saied Over, you’re a dictator” and “people want regime down”, a slogan that evokes the 2011 uprising, the first year of the region, the first year of the region, former president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.

On the same street, Habib Bourguiba Avenue, a supporter of Seid, rally in his defense, chanting, “No foreign intervention” and “people want to hype again.”

Riot police have been deployed in large quantities to separate these groups. There has been no conflict so far.

The demonstrations came under months of government crackdown on critics of Sed, including the detention of prominent lawyer Ahmed Souab last week, a presidential criticism.

On Thursday, counter-travel protesters marched from the headquarters of the Administrative Court, where Su Abu served as a judge before retirement and became a widely respected lawyer for all political parties.

They then joined the square of other protesters, home to the powerful UGTT Alliance headquarters, and headed towards Habib Bourguiba Street.

Last week, Sub arrested a prison sentence and sentenced to opposition leaders on conspiracy charges, which were criticized by France, Germany and the United Nations.

Said rejected criticism, saying it was a sudden interference in Tunisia's sovereignty.

The opposition accused Saied of undermining the democracy won in the 2011 revolution because he occupied additional power when he closed his elected parliament in 2021 and introduced a ruling through a decree before taking on the judiciary’s mandate.

They described his move as a coup, and Said said it was legal and necessary to end chaos and rampant corruption.

Leaders of most Tunisian political parties are in prison.

The government says Tunisia has democracy. Seid said he would not be a dictator but insisted that what he said was corrupt elites must be held accountable.
