It was the latest rally opposing President Kais Saied's July 25 decision to sack the government, suspend parliament and seize an array of powers, citing an "imminent threat" to the country -- the birthplace of the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings against autocracy. Some demonstrators carried signs reading "No to the intimidation of the media" and demanding "an independent judicial authority". (Photograph:AFP)
