Tunisian authorities arrested four people after the state railway company mistakenly flew the Turkish flag instead of the national one, as efforts are stepped up to enforce ultra-patriotic fervor ahead of October elections.

A fifth individual is being questioned as investigations continue into the mix-up that occurred Tuesday in the capital, Tunis, local broadcaster Mosaique FM reported, citing a court spokesman. It wasn’t clear of what crime they are being accused.
