Description
This stamp commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the bloody events of April 9, 1938, a pivotal stage in the struggle for independence. The illustration reproduces a vibrant historical scene: a crowd of demonstrators brandishing national flags and a banner demanding a “Tunisian Parliament”. This powerful visual recalls the sacrifice of Tunisians who fell under the bullets of the occupation to demand sovereignty and freedom. It is a tribute to popular courage and national unity in the face of the protectorate.
