On 30 May, FEMEN activist Amina Tyler went on trial on charges of ”desecration of a grave” and “carrying harmful weapons”. She had scrawled the slogan FEMEN on a mosque wall and had pepper spray for her own protection with her. The judge decided to keep her jailed and added the charge of “attack on public morals”. The charges can carry from six months to five year imprisonment.
Nearly 200 Islamists protested against her saying she had sullied the image of the city and insulted Islam.
In condemnation of her trial, three FEMEN activists protested topless at the Tunisian courthouse and were arrested for attacking public decency and immoral behaviour. The two French and one German citizens are now in jail and could face up to one year in jail.
Clearly, the only attack on human decency is their arrests whilst Islamists roam free to murder and intimidate at will.
The four must be freed now.
Join FEMEN in calling for their immediate release. You can also donate to help support the four women
Attention! To all supporters and those who are not ignorant to fight between slavery and freedom! We inform you that tomorrow 3 FEMEN activists who did a first topless protest in muslim countries will face the trial in Tunis with wild charges in immoral behavior. The process for 2 french and 1 german activists of FEMEN will take place in Palais de justice, avenue Bab Bnet at 10.30. Tunisian FEMEN activist Amina will be convocated to the hearing tomorrow afternoon in the Trial of Kairouan.
We strongly call everyone not to pass through the tomorrow's fight between patriarchy and women's liberation, between traditions of Middle Age and modern time. We ask you to be present at the trial and to follow the process, only with your attention we can save FEMEN from patriarchal Islamists trial.
Be with FEMEN!
