Tunisia expelled the head of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) on Saturday after she took part in an anti-government protest organised by the country's UGTT union, one of Tunisia's leading political forces.
The UGTT said the expulsion was "shocking" and opened up a confrontation with labour unions around the world.
Tunisian President Kais Saied declared the ETUC's Esther Lynch "persona non grata" and said the Irish citizen must leave the country within 24 hours. Lynch's participation in the protests and remarks she made were a "blatant interference in Tunisian affairs", the government said. Thousands of members of the UGTT took to the streets of eight Tunisian cities on Saturday to protest against Saied's policies, accusing him of trying to stifle basic freedoms including union rights.Latest Updates
