Tunisian social movements like Manich Msamah continue to fight for an authentic democracy in Tunisia as they face off against a controversial law granting amnesty to former regime officials.

Standing with arms folded and dressed in T-shirts with the “Manich Msamah” (“I don’t forgive”) logo, several members of the collective Manich Msamah attended the press conference at the National Union of Tunisian Journalists on Sept. 15, two days after the so-called Administrative Reconciliation Act was passed by the Assembly of the Representatives of the People (Tunisian parliament).

“At the press conference, we wanted to send a clear message to the government and we want to challenge them: Our fight will not end with the passing of the law,” Aziz Amani, a Tunisian blogger and well-known activist of the 2011 revolution, told Al-Monitor.
