Tunis - in front of UNHCR - persistent refugee protest, part 2‏

Since March 2013 - since one year! - a group of UNHCR-recognized refugees from Choucha started their protest sit-in in front of the UNHCR builiding in Tunis. They are still there every day and night (see a picture from yesterday below) and insist on their resettlement and protection in a safe country. They refuse, what is called "local integration" and what does not work for most refugees as recently reported again after a delegation visit in southern Tunesia.
