Tunisia buries Chokri Belaid
Murdered opposition leader Chokri Belaid was buried near his home in the Tunisian capital, Tunis, after Friday prayers.
People carry the coffin of late opposition leader Chokri Belaid during his funeral procession to the cemetery of El-Jellaz in the Djebel Jelloud district, a suburb of Tunis, where Belaid is to be buried on February 8, 2013.
FETHI BELAID
Protesters chanted slogans against the Tunisian government and called for a new revolution.
Belaid's murder has proved the flash point for months of tension between the ruling Islamists and secular, liberal groups who accuse them of hijacking Tunisia's revolution.
