TUNIS, Tunisia (AA) – The Tunisian capital, Tunis, saw a second night of clashes on Saturday between protesters and security forces following the death of a young man in a police chase.

According to an Anadolu Agency reporter, Tunisian police used rubber-coated bullets and tear gas canisters to disperse demonstrators, who responded by hurling stones at security forces.

The violence erupted as hundreds of mourners paid farewell to a 24-year-old Tunisian, Malek Selimi, who died of injuries he sustained during a police chase in August.

There were conflicting reports about the cause of Selimi’s death. While some reports suggested that he was shot by security forces, others said he fell during a police chase at the end of August.

There was no comment from the Tunisian authorities on the report.
