More than 300 protesters have been arrested in which the army had distributed to the Sunnisan cities following violent demonstrations to bring the country to the third night of riots despite threats from security strikes.
In Thala near the Algeria border, military troops have distributed the protesters after they burned a part of the city and the national security building, forcing police to withdraw from the city, the witnesses said.
Anti-government protests have erupted in the cities of Tunisia since Monday, including the Sousse resort resort.
