On 14 November, Tunisian lawyer and human rights defender Radhia Nasraoui and two foreign journalists were threatened by plain clothes security officers. Then plain clothes police moved in to forcibly shut down a preparatory meeting for a Citizens´ Summit open to banned Tunisian civil society activists, planned to parallel WSIS activities. ;The private meeting was to have been held at the offices of the German- government-supported Goethe Foundation. Instead police sealed off the building and tried to forcibly prevent a German diplomat from entering the building. In front of a score of international journalists and officials, a news crew from Belgian RTBF TV was manhandled. Reporter Marianne Klaric was threatened and her tapes seized.
