It is estimated that more than 5,000 people participated in the funeral procession that began in Sidi Bouzid and continued through to Bouazizi's native village, though police did not allow the procession to pass near the spot at which Bouazizi had burned himself.
Fler än 5 000 personer beräknas ha deltagit i begravningsprocessionen som började i Sidi Bouzid och fortsatte till Bouazizis födelsestad, även om polisen inte tillät processionen att passera den plats där han hade bränt sig själv.
