Mériem Bourguiba. Granddaughter of Habib Bourguiba who ruled the country for thirty years after the country's independence in 1956. He was ousted by Ben Ali in a coup in 1987. Only 17 years old Mériem moved to London in 1980 to be free of her grandfather's shadow. She returned to live in Tunisia just before the revolution. The revolution was a reclaiming of her Tunisian citizenship for her and sparked the desire to become actively involved in Tunisia's future. Mériem now is a member of the Al Joumhouri party, and focuses on civil society projects.
