In January, following the Tunisian revolution s tenth anniversary, riots took place across the country. Protesters marched against inequality, corruption and police brutality, despite a COVID-19 curfew.
The rioters were mostly teenagers aged 14-17, according to Khaled Hayouni, interior ministry spokesperson. They clashed with the police, who used tear gas to disperse them. In Tunisia, 15-24-year-olds represent 12.9 percent of the population.
According to human rights groups at least 1,000 people were arrested during six nights of riots. The Tunisian government reported arresting 670 people. The contrast in figures highlights the lack of transparency in the so-called Arab democracy.
