[1/3] Supporters of Tunisia's President Kais Saied hold cloth in the colours of the Tunisian flag during a rally to demonstrate their support for the president after a crackdown on opponents accused of treason and corruption, and to reject what they call foreign interference, in Tunis, Tunisia March 20, 2023. The opposition has held frequent protests against Saied, regularly drawing crowds of thousands, but his own supporters have only rarely taken to the streets. Saied has denied mounting a coup, saying his actions were legal and necessary to save Tunisia from years of chaos, and has denounced his opponents as traitors, criminals and terrorists. He has responded to expressions of concern at his moves by the United States and the European parliament by denouncing them as foreign interference and attacks on Tunisian sovereignty. "We support Saied in his campaign against the traitors and the corrupt, against those who ruined the country during the past decade and against external interference," Lobna Souissi, one of the demonstrators, said.
