Protestors in Tunisia had tear gas fired at them by police as they protested a private TV station. The station’s owner said the protestors had tried to burn down his house and had attacked him. The protestors were angry because of scenes in a movie where God is seen talking to a girl. The protest had started out as peaceful but when the police fired tear gas at the crowd, the crowd responded by throwing rocks in defense. There is also an election upcoming in Tunisia, and it will be the first one since the overthrowing of the president in January.
