Call for creation of standing committee at Ministry of Foreign Affairs to monitor situation of Tunisians stranded abroad

(TAP)- President of the Association for Saving Tunisians Stranded Abroad Mohamed Iqbel Ben Rejeb called on the Presidency of the Republic to pay more attention to the file of Tunisians stranded abroad. The association also calls for the creation of a permanent committee at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to monitor their situations and identify ways to ensure their return to the country. Speaking to TAP on Tuesday, Ben Rejeb said the collective fast-breaking meal (Iftar) organised the day before by a number of families of Tunisians stranded abroad including those of Sofien Chourabi and Nadhir Ktari, aims to attract the attention of the Presidency of the Republic about the situation of families concerned and encourage them to deliver on their promises. The protest observed close to the Presidential Palace in Carthage continued until midnight before its dispersion by the policy, said Ben Rejeb, deploring a “mistreatment” suffered by peaceful protesters.
