Tunisia is a case of decentralized mass protest, labor involvement, police violence, and elite/security restraint producing rapid leadership removal. Its later political reversal is equally important: revolutionary success and early democratization did not make democratic consolidation irreversible. This profile treats organization, coercion, repression, legitimacy, state response, and outcome as historical variables—not moral shorthand.

Coverage class: civil resistance / leadership-removal revolution. BuiltToResist does not use violent/nonviolent, armed/unarmed, extremist, insurgent, or legal designation as a credibility or inclusion test. Those fields describe what actors did and how authorities classified them; they do not decide whether the case belongs in the research corpus.
This profile is synthesized from the 2026 Revolutionary Knowledge expansion corpus. Campaign-cycle descriptions are historical research snapshots, not recruitment or tactical guidance. Current legal or political status should be reverified before present-tense reuse.
