A Tunisian parliamentarian is seen approaching crowds with his car as demonstrators block the entrance of the capital’s parliament building in a video posted to social media on December 8th. The activists were protesting comments made a few days earlier by Mohamed Affas, a member of Tunisia s populist Dignity Coalition, who stated that “single mothers are either prostitutes or rape victims” and who targeted women and LGBTQ+ people. Saif Ayadi claims he was one of the demonstrators who banged on the hood of the government official’s vehicle in an attempt to stop the physical assault on protesters. The 23-year-old said he was then detained by police for damaging property, and held for two days. He is still awaiting his trial.
