Arab League Secretary General Dr. Nabil Al Arabi has strongly condemned the assassination of a leading Tunisian opposition politician Mohamed Brahmi who was shot dead at his home in Tunis earlier Thursday. In a statement the Arab League issued here on Friday, Al Arabia said, \" I strongly condemn such a brutal terrorist act warning meantime of the risk of re-targeting the national and political figures , referring to the assassination of the leading opposition politician Chokri Belaid last february. The Arab League Chief has called upon all parties concerned in Tunisia to place the interest of the homeland above all other considerations, to fight terrorism in all its types and forms and apply the deterrent legal procedures against any one permitting himself to commit or instigate such heinous crimes. He conveyed heartfelt condolences to the family of the victims stressing his solidarity with the Tunisian people for disclosing the culprits of such a criminal act and putting them to trial.      Mohamed Brahmi\'s assassination is the second such assassination this year in Tunisia which is often praised as the most stable of Arab Spring countries. Brahmi\'s assassination, on the Republic Day national holiday, was announced by his party, the secular leftist Movement of the People. The killing has prompted violent protests against the Islamist-led government across the country and a strike call by the main trade union body, the UGTT. In a reference to the country\'s Islamist-led government, the demonstrators chanted: \"Down with the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood.\"
