Selon les informations reçues, le 25 juillet 2013, M. Mohamed Brahmi, membre de l’Assemblée nationale constituante, aurait été tué par balle devant son domicile à Tunis. Il est rapporté qu’il s’agissait du troisième assassinat de cette nature en moins de dix mois dans le pays. Il est allégué qu’en dépit des graves crimes survenus au cours des derniers mois en Tunisie, les autorités n’auraient pas pris des mesures suffisantes pour protéger les militants politiques et tous ceux qui professent des idées et opinions minoritaires ou dissidentes dans le pays. De plus, suite aux obsèques de M. Brahmi, de nombreuses manifestations auraient eu lieu en Tunisie et certaines auraient fait l’objet d’un usage disproportionné de la force de la police.
