Police are showering tear gas upon the crowds.
Security forces have been singling out the international press and seizing cameras.
Military forces have already been called into some areas.
The government is splitting, trying to decide what should be done about the current situation.
Prime Minister Hamdi Jebali offered to dismiss his own government, in favor of new elections, to try and buy peace with the protesters.
However, his plan ran into trouble, when his own party said they would not support him in that decision, and that they would continue running the government.
Worries are that if the government can't regain control, that the military will step in and bring about a new government.
