The Tunisian authorities said on Monday that a protester was killed accidentally in Tataouine Province of southeast Tunisia.

Yaser Mosbah, spokesman for the Tunisian Ministry of the Interior, said the victim was accidentally hit by a security apparatus while leaving the venue of the demonstration.

Meanwhile, nineteen security agents were wounded during the confrontations with protesters who participated in the sit-in in Tataouine province, confirmed Mosbah.

One of the security agents was attacked by a number of protesters before being beaten, added Mosbah.

"The peaceful social movement has also been accompanied by acts of vandalism," Mosbah said.

According to him, the security units fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesters without using real bullets.
