The public prosecutor’s office, on Friday, ordered to initiate an investigation against some people who blocked the road, burned boats used for illegal immigration in Louata in the delegation of Jebniana (governorate of Sfax) and attempted to set fire to the maritime police station. Faouzi Masmoudi, public prosecutor and spokesperson for the Court of First Instance, said protests took place in the region on Thursday following the death of a person by gunshot. In a statement to TAP, he added that unknown perpetrators, believed to be migrant smugglers, were most likely responsible for the murder.
