Tunisian President Kais Saied has extended the nationwide state of emergency until December 31, 2025, according to an announcement published Thursday in the Journal of the Republic of Tunisia, the country’s biweekly official gazette.

The emergency law grants authorities broad powers, including home arrests, curfews, media restrictions, bans on gatherings, and censorship without prior judicial approval.

Tunisia has been under a continuous state of emergency since November 24, 2015, following a deadly bombing that targeted a presidential guard bus, killing 12 security personnel.
