Tunisian protesters call for release of four Sumad activists

A protest has erupted amid growing concerns over the condition of a detainee whose health is worsening after more than a month on a hunger strike. Demonstrators gathered outside the detention facility to draw attention to the inmate’s deteriorating state and to call for immediate medical intervention.

Authorities confirmed that the detainee has been refusing food for over thirty days, a period that medical experts say can lead to serious complications without prompt treatment. Human‑rights observers have urged officials to assess the prisoner’s condition and to ensure that any necessary care is provided in accordance with international standards. The protest underscores heightened scrutiny of detention practices as the situation develops.
