I just received news now that the Tunisia Monitoring Group mission in Tunisia , have been seriously harassed by plain clothed policemen while accompanying Samia Abbou in her weekly trip to Le Kef to visit her imprisoned husband Mohammed Abbou.
Plain Clothed Policemen prevented the members of the mission from crossing the road to Le Kef prison. They prevented them from taking pictures. Meanwhile, those thugs were taking pictures of the mission. Samia, fortunately, was able to visit her husband.
The car was stopped while on the way and made to wait for ten minutes. This has been a systematic harassment that Samia faces every Thursday when she goes to visit Abbou.
