January 9, 2015: The families of Sofiène Chourabi and Nadhir Ktari with Representative Khmais Ksila. About 300 people demonstrated Friday in Tunis in support of Tunisian journalists Sofiène Chourabi and Nadhir Ktari, whom the Libyan branch of the Islamic State (IS) claimed to have executed. “We are all Sofiène, we are all Nadhir,” read signs held aloft by the demonstrators, most of whom were young journalists, many of whom refused to believe the announcement in the absence of official confirmation. In a statement published Thursday on jihadist forums, the Libyan branch of ISIS claimed to have “applied Allah’s law” against them. The photo purported to show the execution of one of them is blurry: one can make out a shot being fired toward an unidentified person who appears to be kneeling. “The information has still not been confirmed. We call on the Tunisian authorities to do their duty, at the very least by revealing the truth,” said Néji Bghouri, president of the National Union of Tunisian Journalists (SNJT).
