The Tunisian government on Monday issued a decree to extend the state of emergency (SoE) imposed across the country for another month.
The decree, signed by Tunisian President Kais Saied, extends the SoE first declared in 2015 to Jan. 30, 2025, according to the Journal of the Republic of Tunisia, an official biweekly gazette.
Tunisian emergency law grants the authorities exceptional powers, including carrying out home arrests, banning official meetings, imposing curfews, monitoring media and press, prohibiting assemblies, and conducting media censorship without permission from the judiciary.
The SoE in Tunisia was first declared on Nov. 24, 2015, following a bomb attack on a bus of the presidential guards, killing 12 agents.
In late January, the Tunisian government extended the SoE till the end of 2024.
