Protests Erupt Over Detention Of Former Judge Ahmed Souab In Tunis
Demonstrators shout ''degage'' (get out) as they raise their hands during a demonstration organized by the family of lawyer and former judge Ahmed Souab, alongside hundreds of civil society activists, representatives of national and human rights organizations, and journalists in Tunis, Tunisia, on April 25, 2025, to protest the detention of Ahmed Souab and to express their support for him. Demonstrators chant iconic slogans from the Tunisian revolution, including ''Labor, Liberty, and Dignity for All,'' while also calling for the fall of President Kais Saied's regime. Ahmed Souab is recently arrested by the police after making critical remarks to the press about the harsh sentences handed down in the so-called ''conspiracy against state security'' case. A detention warrant is issued against him on terrorism charges. Ahmed Souab is part of the legal team representing prominent political figures in the case, who are sentenced in the first instance to prison terms ranging from 13 to 66 years.

Researchers have developed a way to control smartphone apps — with their feet.
The idea is that different length strides, dragging a heel or tapping a toe for example can all help navigate options on a smartphone.
The study, from the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, was the idea of computer science professor Daniel Vogel.
He was frustrated by having to stop and use his phone with cold fingers while walking to get coffee.
That got him wondering if there could be a way to place orders without pausing.
This led to a study where volunteers tested 22 different foot motions, rating them on ease of movement, compatibility with walking, and social acceptability.
The researchers used an augmented reality headset to detect specific gait patterns.
The idea is that you can navigate apps by altering your footfall, turning your foot one way or the other as you walk.
Prof Vogel said extreme movements like dance steps or a jump would likely be easy for a system to recognise.
But he added that these might be harder to perform and would deviate too far from normal walking for people to feel comfortable doing them in public.
OPS: A researcher in an augmented reality headset uses different foot movements to open an Uber EATS smartphone app , elect a drink and then pay for it.
