Tunisians protest Saudi prince’s visit
Protests in Tunisia began overnight on Monday and have continued into Tuesday ahead of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s visit to the north African country.
Rights activists and journalists say they object to the prince’s regional tour because of Saudi Arabia’s record on press freedom and human rights.
US media has reported that the CIA blames Mohammed bin Salman for the gruesome murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey last month.
But Saudi Arabia says the claims are false and insisted that the crown prince knew nothing about plans for the killing.
US President Donald Trump has also dismissed the accusations, contradicting his own national intelligence agency.
Protests and strike action by Tunisians have made international headlines in recent years.
