Curfew in Tunisia after widespread riots

2012-08-17 8

A Tunisian military court has sentenced former president Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali to 20 years in jail for inciting violence during a police attempt to smuggle his nephew out of the country. It took place during last year's revolt which overthrew Ben Ali, now living in exile in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, the government has imposed a curfew following widespread riots, the worst street violence since the revolution. Will Jordan reports.
