The Bin Ali regime turned Tunisia into a true
police state. There is one policeman for every
BIN ALI'S 100 people, an extraordinary ratio. The public
is reluctant to criticize the government or to
POLICE express their Islamic sensitivities, even in the
privacy of their own homes. They are trying to
STATE survive under terrible psychological pressure.

The Bin Ali regime considers all meth-
ods aimed at destroying the religious
movement justified. Not just NAHDA,
but all Islamically-minded organiza-
tions and parties come under fierce
pressure. Some 10,000 Muslims are
currently in prison in Tunisia, living
under appalling conditions. All Islamic
activities and publications have been
banned. As a result of this pressure,
everyone is keen to avoid anything
with Islamic connotations.
