Chokri Belaïd was a Tunisian lawyer and politician who was an opposition leader with the left-secular Democratic Patriots' Movement. Belaid was a vocal critic of the Ben Ali regime prior to the 2011 Tunisian revolution and of the current Islamist-led Tunisian government. On 6 February 2013, he was fatally shot outside his house in El Menzah, close to the Tunisian capital, Tunis. As a result of his assassination, Tunisian Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali announced his plan to dissolve the existing national government and to form a temporary "national unity" government.
