Tunisian democracy group collects Nobel Peace Prize

| EDIT

Tunisia’s Nobel Peace Prize winners have set a global example that conflict can be avoided though dialogue and tolerance. The Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet received the prize yesterday. Nobel committee chairperson Kaci Kullmann Five said the Quartet helped pull the country back from civil war in 2013.
It is credited with creating a dialogue between the country’s Islamist and secular coalition parties. The Quartet, made up of the country’s key labour, legal, human rights and business organisations, was formed in 2013 at a time when the revolution that overthrew President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali in 2011 appeared to be unravelling.
Trade unionist Hassine Abassi, lawyer Mohamed Fadhel Mahfoudh, human rights activist Abdessatar Ben Moussa and business representative Ouided Bouchamaoui collected the award at a ceremony in Norway’s capital, Oslo.

Save Dissent to Save Democracy   THE rising instances of physical violence and threats against political opponents and the inability to accept dissent must raise huge concerns amongst all of us who see democracy as perhaps the really stellar achievement since Independence. AAP’s attack on BJP headquarters and acts of arson committed under the very noses of their elite leadership; the attacks on Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in Gujarat in the last two days; the recent manhandling of the caretaker of journalist Siddharth Varadarajan’s house by some garden variety thugs; and the violence and threats meted out regularly to their political opponents by political parties is surely deplorable and condemnable. This is a fatally flawed trend which will destroy the very foundations of our democratic institutions if not pushed back with all the strength and condemnation that the civil society can mobilise.
