Hundreds of Tunisians are protesting against the Government Street

Hundreds of Tunisians are tonight in the street protesting against the transitional government and skipping curfew imposed in the country since the popular revolt that led to the departure of the despot Zine el Abidine Ben Ali. The protesters are rural dwellers who had come to the capital to join the protests and now have nowhere to go.

Provided food and water have camped in the center of the city before the prime minister's office. At 7.30 am on Sunday began to hear the cries of demonstrators arrived from the countryside, many of them in Sidi Bouzid, the city where Mohamed Bouazizi blew up and sparked the revolt-which habín traveled about 300 kilometers, some sections walk, to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Mohamed Ghanuchi, and members of Government who served prior to Ben Ali, who was deposed on October 14.

They are very poor that struggles to explain the neglect suffered by the regime, their marginalization and repression they have suffered for 23 years. En route to the capital's main avenue stopped at the residence of the head of the interim government to demand his resignation. "We want this government falls," cried the protesters, who told stories of relatives killed by snipers and the inability to thrive in a region with no industry or tourism and official support.

Yesterday's was one of a small demonstrations on the streets of Tunis every day while the government holds the shower with promises of all kinds. Any government decision seems insufficient to appease the spirits of the Tunisians. As ministers of Interior, Foreign and Defence bringing together former members of the Constitutional Democratic (RCD), the party of dictator to remain in their positions, nothing seems to be to deter the protesters.

Arrested for "treason" This afternoon arrested the owner of the only private TV channel in Tunisia, charged with "treason" for fomenting violence to derail the popular revolt that forced the flight of the dictator Ben Ali. Next to him his son has been arrested, reports state news agency.

"The owner of Hannibal TV (Larbi Nasra), which is a relative of the wife of former president, is using the channel to abort the youth revolution, add to the confusion, incite violence and disseminating false information," reads a statement. "Their goal was to create a constitutional vacuum, ruin the stability and pushing the country into a violent situation to return the dictatorship of former president." Some experts estimate that is a sign of nervousness of a government unable to stop the demonstrations in Tunisia and is willing to sacrifice anyone to contain the fury of the Tunisians who require executive without any trace of the deposed regime.

Even some human rights activists showed their distrust by the decision of the Executive. Surely, there is no opposition to house arrest yesterday underwent two close associates of the tyrant: Abdelaziz Bin Dhia, a former defense minister and chief of directors of Ben Ali, and Abdullah Kalal, former interior minister, said the agency TAP state news.

Now await the results of commissions of inquiry which has been the interim Cabinet to investigate the crimes committed during the civil revolt around 120 people have died from police gunfire or the guard of the former president or prison riots, and corruption of Ben Ali and his family. The authorities also reported that Abdullah Abdelwahad, political advisor of the dictator, is also wanted by the security forces, but is currently missing.

A safe place and another 33 are relatives of Ben Ali and families who looted state assets. Only know the name of one of the prisoners: Imad Trabelsi, nephew of the wife of Ben Ali.
