Islamist activists raided the last working bar in the central Tunisian town of Sidi Bouzid on Monday, smashing bottles and chasing away customers, witnesses said.
Around 50 activists burst into the bar in the Hotel Horchani in the centre of town, customers and staff told AFP.
Bearded men then raided the reception and the upstairs rooms of the hotel, the last in Sidi Bouzid to serve alcohol, some of them shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest) and "Al-Saharab haram" (drinking is a sin). [AFP] Read more
