answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2018 answer text I have been closely following the situation in Tunisia. I am of course concerned at the reports of violence and looting that occurred at some protests last week. But the vast majority of protesters, thousands of ordinary Tunisians, demonstrated peacefully, including on the anniversary of the country’s 2011 revolution, on 14 January. Addressing the issues underlying the Tunisian people’s concerns - unemployment, economic opportunity and regional disparities - through investment and economic reform, is the best way to ensure stability. The UK will continue to support Tunisia in doing so. answering member constituency Uxbridge and South Ruislip answering member printed Boris Johnson question first answered 18/01/2018 15:10:14 answering member 1423 label Biography information for Boris Johnson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2018 answer text The Tunisian Ministry of Interior has stated that several hundred people were arrested for instances of violence and looting of property during the protests, and that many of these people have since been released. The right to peaceful protest is enshrined in the Tunisian Constitution and, where arrests have been made, we encourage Tunisia to ensure that the response by security forces is proportionate and the subsequent judicial processes in line with the rule of law and international obligations. answering member constituency Uxbridge and South Ruislip answering member printed Boris Johnson question first answered 18/01/2018 15:36:29 answering member 1423 label Biography information for Boris Johnson
