Tunisia: A revolution for dignity: Kassrine - Thala
Kasserine & Thala: Towns with a revolutionary tradition. On 22-24th December Kassrine and Thala’ people held their first solidarity march with Sidi Bouzid, where the first call in all of Tunisia was made demanding the fall of Ben Ali. Between 3rd and 12th January, Thala - a town of 15,000 inhabitants - was surrounded by 1,800 police. Supplies of water, bread were cut off. "YES to bread and water, NO to Ben Ali". 150 people were imprisoned. Young men, women and children were tortured and abused. But through Facebook and other social networks, the young were able to publish videos of the repression and publicise the police murder of 6 young people. Thala, won. Today, there are no police in town. Young people take it in turns to deal with security. Only the military presence reminds that there is a state.
