Tunisians call for the fall of 'authoritarian regime'
Hundreds of Tunisians marched through the capital on Friday to denounce President Kais Saied's increasingly authoritarian rule, as they chanted "The people want the fall of the regime." Marking four years since his controversial power grab, the protesters criticized the "authoritarian regime" for turning the country into an "open-air prison." The demonstrators said Tunisia has slid into authoritarian rule under Saied, marked by mass arrests and politically driven trials aimed at crushing dissent. Rallying under the banner "The Republic is a large prison," the protesters, led by women, chanted slogans demanding the release of jailed opposition leaders, journalists and activists. Why are people protesting the president? Four years ago, on July 25, 2021, Saied dissolved the parliament, removed the prime minister and began ruling by decree. Critics branded the move as a coup. Since then, Saied has dissolved key judicial bodies, dismissed judges and overseen the jailing of numerous opponents. Most of Saied's prominent political opponents, including Rached Ghannouchi and Abir Moussi, are all behind bars. "Tunisia has become an open-air prison," said Saib Souab, whose father, lawyer and Saied critic Ahmed Souab, is behind bars. Even those not imprisoned live in fear of arrest, Souab said. 'The dismantling of Tunisia' A 2024 report by rights group Amnesty International said that Tunisian authorities are using vague legal charges to arrest of critics of the government. Monia Ibrahim, wife of jailed politician Abdelhamid Jelassi, told Reuters news agency that the aim of Friday's protest was to restore democracy and free political detainees. July 25, once celebrated as Republic Day in Tunisia, has come to be associated with Saied's anti-political class "July 25 Movement." Samir Dilou, a former government minister said the day's meaning has changed to mark the "dismantling" of Tunisia. "Absolute power is absolute corruption," Dilou said.

Iran, E3 countries agree to resume nuclear talks on Friday in Istanbul
Istanbul – Iran and the three European countries of France, Germany and Britain, collectively known as the E3, have agreed to resume nuclear talks this Friday in the Turkish city of Istanbul, Iranian state broadcaster Press TV reported late Sunday. 'Iran and the European troika – comprising France, Germany and Britain – will resume nuclear negotiations on Friday in Istanbul,' the broadcaster said. Earlier in the day, the outlet reported that the four parties agreed in principle to resume nuclear negotiations next week, without providing details on the time and location. In talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Thursday, the top diplomats of the UK, France, Germany and the European Union had emphasized the urgency of returning to diplomacy for a nuclear deal, or else they were prepared to trigger the UN 'snapback' mechanism reimposing international sanctions. Talks between Tehran and the US were being held through Omani mediators until Israel's surprise attack on Iran on June 13, which triggered a 12-day war. The attack came just two days before a planned sixth round of negotiations in the Omani capital Muscat. Iran accused the US of complicity in the Israeli attack, which killed top Iranian military officials, nuclear scientists and civilians. The US also launched strikes on three major Iranian nuclear sites, claiming to have obliterated them. A ceasefire took effect on June 24. While the US and Europeans say Iran can never have a nuclear bomb, Tehran argues its program is meant for peaceful use of nuclear power. After the talks with the E3 and EU, Araghchi said it was the US that withdrew from the 2015 nuclear accord and any new round of talks is only possible 'when the other side is ready for a fair, balanced and mutually beneficial nuclear deal.' 'If EU/E3 want to have a role, they should act responsibly and put aside the worn-out policies of threat and pressure, including the 'snap-back' for which they lack absolutely no moral and legal ground,' he said on X. -Agencies
