Ahmad Friaa, Tunisia’s interior minister, held a media availability on Friday. There was more than a little news in his remarks. Here’s the summary:
• The Green Tunisia Party, Left Socialist Party, and Patriotic and Democratic Labor Party have been approved. The Ba’ath Party applied Thursday, and is under review.
• All Tunisians may apply for passports now. No longer do you need connections to get one.
• 1,200 arrests have been made since Ben Ali’s departure. Most have been released, 382 have been charged with firearms violations, looting, et al.
• Ali Seriati’s arrest has been confirmed. He is currently ‘under interrogation.’ I’ll guess that’s not pleasant.
