Tunisia extends state of emergency until end of 2025

The emergency law grants authorities broad powers, including home arrests, curfews, media restrictions, bans on gatherings, and censorship without prior judicial approval.

Tunisia has been under a continuous state of emergency since November 24, 2015, following a deadly bombing that targeted a presidential guard bus, killing 12 security personnel.
