Length looks fine (just), dates work, certainly source. however, the hook itself is source to a collaboratively written blog that doesn't look to me to be a reliable source. Also, lacking quite so much biographical information, are we confident the article is not still a stub? -

Size passes DYK requirements, as you note above, which means it is not a stub. Reference-wise,
Global Voices Online is a blog, but one them ore reliable side. I'd be open to an alternative hook, if anybody has a better idea. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

There is no set size for stubs, per guidelines. But in any case I'm not entirely discontent on that point, so I shan't push it.
Anyhow, I have to say I don't like the citation for the hook; perhaps, since I tried to reference that but failed, it might be better to go for something relating to "In response to his arrest, Tunisian activists organized a series of protests, many of them online (using Facebook and Twitter)."? -

Facebook and
Twitter?
I'm concerned that some of the phrasing in this article may be too close to that of its sources. Compare for example "Feriani expressed satisfaction at the decision" with "Feriani expressed his satisfaction with the court's decision", or "he hopes to recover his job" with "expressed hope that he could recover his old job".
