M13-351

March 25: On Habib Bourguiba Avenue, two demonstrations clashed—a cultural demonstration and a Salafist demonstration calling for Sharia law to be included in the constitution. It was a sad scene, with the Salafists driving away the theater and puppet shows that had been set up for the public that Sunday morning. More than 6,000 Salafists took over the avenue and the Place du 14 Janvier this Sunday morning following a call to action planned for Friday at the Kasbah but, surprisingly, moved to the avenue this Sunday morning, even though a large cultural demonstration was scheduled there. Tension and confrontations were inevitable; the Salafists destroyed and looted the small stages, forcing the artists to gather under police protection in front of the theater; they were eventually driven out by the Salafists, who returned in large numbers to the theater after a large street prayer on 14 January Square andHabib Bourguiba Avenue.
