Jellaz Cemetery (also known as al-Jallaz) is a large hillside Muslim cemetery in Tunis, Tunisia, established in the thirteenth century. Located next to the bus station, the cemetery is the largest in the city. The Borj Ali Rais Ottoman fortress is visible from most places in the cemetery. Visiting the cemetery is a duty during Aid el Fitr at the end of Ramadan, when family members clean and whitewash the tombs, which are facing Mecca. In 1911, mass demonstrations, known as the Tramway Riots,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Young Tunisians movement )〕 took place at the cemetery against the French, triggered by land registration and entitlement disputes. A bloody confrontation took place after the burial of the wife of an eager propagandist of naturalisation and resulted in the death of 39 people, 9 of them French and 5 of them Italian.〔 ==Notable burials== *Youssef Alouane, academic, communicator and chairman of the Higher Communication. *Mohamed Brahmi,politician,founder and former leader of the People's Movement. *Chokri Belaid,lawyer and politician. *Henri Kassagi (Abdelmaǧīd al-qaṣʿaǧī), magician and artist. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jellaz Cemetery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
