Tunisia has begun a three-day period of mourning to honor the dozens killed in the month-long uprising that overthrew longtime President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. An estimated 100 people were killed in the government crackdown on Tunisian protesters. Tunisia’s transitional cabinet meanwhile has lifted a ban on all blacklisted political parties and issued a general amnesty for political prisoners. The Tunisian government says some 1,800 prisoners have been freed this week. Despite successfully forcing Ben Ali into exile, Tunisian protesters have continued to rally after several members of his government were included in the new cabinet.
