THE TUNISIAN REVOLUTION: VICTIMOLOGICAL REVIEW AND PROBLEMS OF COMPENSATION

Abstract

The history of Tunisia has recently been shaken by the
revolution against the former BENALI regime.
Revolutionary demonstrations began on December 17,
2010. These demonstrations reached their peak on
January 14, 2011. They were accompanied by confrontations between the police and Protestant citizens, resulting in sometimes fatal injuries. The victims of the revolution were legally defined as “all persons who risked
their lives for the realization of the revolution and its success, and who have died or suffered permanent disability
accordingly and this between 17-12-2010 and On 19-
02-2011”. The date of the end of the revolution was
extended until 28 February 2012. According to this definition, there were 4066 victims including 338 martyrs
and 3728 wounded. We propose to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of these victims, to discuss the problems of imputability of the lesions with the facts invoked and to discuss the modalities of their reparation in
the light of Tunisian legislation
