Tunisian police on Tuesday ended a weeks-long sit-in by conservative Muslims at a university that banned the full-face veil, a university official said.
"At my request, the state prosecutor came here this afternoon to observe the situation and the 'sit-iners' were removed by the police," said Habib Kazdaghli, dean of the faculty of letters at Manouba, about 25 kilometres (15 miles) from Tunis.
