- Tunisians Protest Against Various Issues in Front of National Constituent Assembly : Tunisia Live. "A Facebook page, entitled 'All united to pass a marijuana legislation,' had called for a protest on the same day [Feb. 18, 2012]. ...

Dejla Douissi, an actress in the famous Tunisian series 'Njoum Elil' (Stars of the Night), was present at the protest this Saturday and very vocal on the subject of zatla."
