Pro-Palestine activist prosecuted in Tunisia

Tunisian authorities arrested a pro-Palestine activis  after he stormed the pitch during a World Cup qualifier match and tore down a company banner.

According to the New Arab on March 26th, activist Mohamed Amin Touihri invaded the pitch waving a Palestinian flag and tore down an advertising banner for Carrefour, a retailer accused of supporting the Israeli occupation.

After he was arrested, Touihri was quickly brought in front of the public prosecutor and faces charges of trespassing, causing disorder, and inciting unrest, as he awaits further legal proceedings following his release.
