Unemployed PhDs on a hunger strike over their plight
Jobless PhD graduates have gone on a hunger strike and are calling for a sit-in on 31 March in response to police action during a previous protest at the premises of the Tunisian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research about a policy that is preventing universities from employing them.
Video clips and photos about the health situation of hunger strikers have been circulating on social media.
In the meantime, the ministry and representatives of the group are in disagreement over the progress and substance of negotiations over the matter.
The ministry said a plan had been negotiated, but the protesters stated that talks were taking place in bad faith and had not yet been finalised.
