notes: On 8 November 2021, police forces threw tear gas canisters to disperse Aqrab residents in Agareb (Sfax) after they demonstrated against the Ministry of Environment's decision to reopen the Qana estuary, as it considered to deteriorate the environmental situation. Police forces intervened and used teargas to disperse the demonstrators. One protester later died due to the inhalation of teargas. Authorities blamed his death on an unrelated health condition.
