TUNIS, July 28: Tunisian police fired teargas late to disperse violent protests in the southern town of Sidi Bouzid, cradle of the country’s revolution and hometown of slain opposition figure Mohamed Brahmi, witnesses said.
Angry demonstrators, who came out to protest Thursday’s assassination of Brahmi, threw rocks at police, said yesterday local resident Mahdi al-Horshani.
“Hundreds of protesters lit tyres on fire to block roads and they threw rocks at the police,” he told Reuters by telephone. “There is a lot of anger and frustration at the situation.” (AGENCIES)
