Tunisia: Police disperse Islamist rally against brothel


Tunisian police have dispersed dozens of Islamists demanding the closure of a brothel in the capital Tunis.
The police reportedly fired in the air to break up the crowd.
Separately, a Polish Catholic priest was found dead with his throat slit outside the capital.
And in another development, the country's interim cabinet approved amnesty for political prisoners held under the regime of ousted President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.
In a televised speech after a cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Mohammed Ghannouchi said the amnesty would take effect over the weekend "so that all those convicted under the former regime can get their civic and political rights back and be reintegrated into Tunisian society".
Mr Ben Ali, who was deposed in a popular uprising last month and fled to Saudi Arabia, has recently had a stroke and is now in a coma, reports say. BBC News
