Tunisia

Imams from mosques in Tunis and Ben Arous protested outside the Ministry of Religious Affairs on June 17 against the rising influence of Salafist extremism. The head of the Union of Imams complained that although more than 1,000 imams have suffered violence from Salafists, the government has not investigated or prosecuted any of the cases. The National Constituent Assembly, which is drafting a new constitution for Tunisia, will consider a motion to impeach President Marzouki filed this spring after he vowed to hang any “secular extremists” who wanted to overthrow the government.
