Eight days after the June 26 gun attack in the city of Sousse, President of Tunisia, Beji Caid Essebsi decreed a state of emergency for 30 days. 38 tourists were killed in the attack that was claimed by the Islamic State (IS). The stage of emergency gives security forces more powers and limits the rights of public assembly. Different parties have raised concerns on the human rights situation in the country following the declaration of the state of emergency.
