Now that all police officers and former regime figures who killed or ordered the shooting of civilians during the 2011 uprising are free, families of victims denouonce the unfair trials held at Military tribunals across Tunisia.
Politicians, lawmakers and civilian Judges described the Tunisian president's call for reconciliation as unacceptable and warned against the reaction of people if the revolution cases are closed by the courts.
Souad Ben Salem is the mother of a revolution victim. Her son died in the southern city of Tataouine. He was only 17. She rejects any reconciliation and demands the extradition of ousted ruler Ben Ali from Saudi Arabia.
A Secretary of State is now in charge of the file of 300 victims and over 3.000 wounded of the revolution. Some analysts say the authorities will allow lawyers to try killers at civilian courts but many observers are pessimistic about the outcome of the legal process.
6 successive governments took office after Tunisian revolution but they’ve all failed to bring justice for the uprising’s victims. Activists say they will step up their campaign until ousted dictator Ben Ali and his agents are held accountable for their crimes.
