A state of emergency has been declared in Tunisia amid protests over corruption, unemployment and inflation.
The decree bans more than three people from gathering together in the open, and imposes a night-time curfew.
Tunisian President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali has dismissed his government and dissolved parliament, and called new elections within six months.
Thousands have gathered in the capital Tunis, urging the president to quit.
On Thursday night, Mr Ben Ali, who has governed Tunisia since 1987, announced he would stand down in 2014 - but the protesters say he should go immediately.
Police fired tear gas at the protesters outside the interior ministry.
Doctors say that 13 people were killed in overnight clashes in the capital, and there are unconfirmed reports that five people have been killed in protests on Friday outside the capital.
Human rights groups say more than 60 people have died in recent weeks as unrest swept the country and security forces cracked down on the protests.
