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.
