Protests continue in Tunisia against the interim government formed after the overthrow of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali earlier this month. Hundreds of people defied a curfew in the capital of Tunis on Sunday to camp outside the office of interim Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi. Opposition activists want Ghannouchi and other officials who served under Ben Ali to resign. The interim government has pledged to release political prisoners and has placed two top Ben Ali advisers under house arrest. In a new milestone for the Tunisian opposition, thousands of Tunisian police officers, army servicemembers and government workers rallied in the capital on Saturday in a show of solidarity with the protests that ousted Ben Ali.

Protester: “I am very happy with Tunisia today — Tunisia, which is teaching the world the meaning of democracy. And the police here are not police. The police are our brothers, and we are united.”
