Families of the martyrs and wounded of the Revolution are holding a series of protests on the commemoration of the 13th Anniversary of the Tunisian Revolution, to demand a special law ensuring their rights, far from the provisions of the decree-law which led to the creation of the «FIDA» Foundation.

Speaking to TAP, on Friday, Coordinator representing these families, Abdelhamid Sghaïer, underlined that a press conference will be organized, next Sunday, to present a bill review the Decree-Law No. 2022 -20 relating to the «FIDA» Foundation.

The bill was submitted to the parliament, he said, adding that MPs promised to submit it to the ARP office early next week.

According to the coordinator, this bill provides for the deletion of articles related to the martyrs and wounded of the Revolution among civilians and to submit their files to the General Authority of Resistance F
ighters, Martyrs and Wounded of the Revolution and Terrorist Operations, which falls under the Prime Ministry.
