Tunis, Jan 14 (EFE / EPA), (Camera: Mohamed Messara).- Tunisia marked the tenth anniversary of the triumph of the revolution amid strict lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.SOUNDBITES OF:-WADII JELASSI (32):"I used to work as a clown before the revolution. People know me for« the cage of January 14 (2011)". We started our movement before the 14th, together with some lawyers and civil society activists with the hope to improve things, a fairer life, to improve my life. I was pretty sure that if I had slogans printed with me that day, that I would not reach Habib Bourguiba avenue, so that's why the idea of the cage and I said to myself even if the police were going to arrest me, I would just tell them I was going to the bird market, I wanted it to be a powerful symbol to show to world. I will celebrate the revolution only when the youth stops taking boats [to reach Europe], when things in Tunisia become better, when corruption ends, when we will have clean politicians, no joblessness, no thieves, no parliamentarian fights over absurd matters, we got freedom, but we want more."-RACHED ARBI (30):"I was shot when I was 20 when the protests reached the capital Tunis. I was excited by the revolution and started to write slogans. I was shot on the 13th of January 2011. A bullet on my chest (he shows the picture when he was shot). They took me to the hospitals and now I am half-paralyzed, on a wheelchair. Since that time I am suffering, I am tired and I hope we will get our rights back. I still hope my country will be better and restored in a fair state that respects the oppressed. Ten years after the revolution, we are still marginalized, our rights are lost, this is our 20th day of the sit-in, and we are totally ignored by the Tunisian state."
