Tunisian authorities arrested at least 11 people following a demonstration held on Saturday. The protesters had gathered to demand the release of previously detained pro-Palestinian activists and organizers connected to a Gaza-bound humanitarian flotilla from the previous year.

The arrests were confirmed on Monday by two lawyers and an activist group, though the exact total number of detainees remains somewhat unclear according to activists. Ghassen Besbes, a lawyer representing several of those taken into custody, is among the legal representatives involved in the case.
