Tunisian security accused of insulting hundreds of Algerians

The Algerian newspaper "Al Khabar" reported in its edition of August 26th, that the Algerians who complained to the Tunisian authorities in order to report stealing of their goods and passports are subject to humiliation by the Tunisian security officers, while both of the Algerian embassy and consulate in Tunis are come off from their liabilities, despite the difficulty of returning back to their country.
The newspaper quoted number of tourists coming back from various cities in Tunisia, that "the mistreatment which they are exposed by the Tunisian security officers, cannot be tolerated" and that "the discrimination does concern only the Algerians among the other nationalities." Those victims have demanded to the Algerian Minister of Foreign Affairs to intervene and to "restore the respect for those who were offended." They also noticed that they were offended at a moment when the Algerians are annually ranked first at the number of visitors in Tunisia with more than three million tourists, contributing with 360 million Euros in the Tunisian economy, they said. Witnesses claimed that organized theft groups are regularly targeting the houses rent by the Algerians, penetrating by night to take all the goods that can be sold, including documents, mobile phones and passports.
