Tunisian police fire tear gas on protesters at landfill (Al Jazeera)

November 9, 2021

Tunisian police have fired tear gas at protesters who refused an authority’s decision to reopen a controlled landfill in the southern town of Agareb, the first test for the government appointed by President Kais Saied, who seized executive power in July.

Local radio Shems FM and witnesses said a young protester was killed by police tear gas in the southern town of Agareb. But the interior ministry said the person had nothing to do with the protests and died at his home, six kilometres (xxx miles) from the protest, because of an emergency health condition, according to the Reuters news agency which reported news of the tear gas incident on Monday.
