Hundreds of opposition supporters in Tunisia defy an official ban on their protest against the president after some of their leaders were arrested, breaking through a police barrier in central Tunis to rally on the city's main street
Up to a thousand protesters then pushed a way through a police cordon to reach Habib Bourguiba Avenue where most rallies take place.
Before the protesters broke through the barrier on Sunday, police warned them by loudspeaker that their demonstration was illegal but added that they would not stop them by force. Sunday's protest is being watched to see how far the National Salvation Front and its constituent parts can mobilise supporters in public after the arrests, and how much force the police are willing to use against them.Opposition to Saied
Saied says his actions were legal and necessary to save Tunisia from chaos, and has called his enemies criminals, traitors and terrorists, urging the authorities to take action against them.
