Tunisian indecency - Part II

Almost two months ago I wrote "Tunisian indecency" the story of a Tunisian woman that have been raped by cops. The Interior ministry spokesperson "justified" the cops' horrible crime by the situation the woman and her fiancé (boyfriend, or whatever..) were caught in that night! Instead of protecting the rape victim the Tunisian authorities charged her with indecency..!! 

Few days ago, court drops charges against the raped Tunisian woman, quite good! but the sequelae of the dramatic events, not only the rape but the reaction of the public opinion are indelibly marked, actually. 

Another case in Siliana of a woman been mugged by her colleague, a friend of mine justified this agrression by the behavior of the victim. Oh wait, a woman can never be the victim in this country! she's always guilty of some "indecent" behaviour!

I still remember the "fake" aggression of Bouazizi by a policewoman. At that time, "we" all pretended that the woman slapped the young man, spat in his face and insulted him, what led to a revolution and the so-called Arab Spring. And I just try to imagine if Bouazizi was a woman!!  

Tunisian indecency

In Tunisia, a girl was raped by police officers then accused by her rapers of indecency! The victim was questioned yesterday by a magistrate in Tunis and hundreds of Tunisians have taken the street in front of the courthouse to support her. 

Meanwhile, unfortunately,  thousands of other Tunisians have been writing dirty and indecent comments on the social medias about the victim pretending (just like the Interior Ministry spokesman said in a press conference)  that the girl and her fiancé were in an "immoral position" when the police officers discovered their car in the middle of the night.. but does this justify to rape her!? that's just outrageous actually!!!!

Some people were pretending that her "fiancé" was just her "boyfriend".. but who cares!? she's been raped? she's suffering physically and psychologically and needs help not critiques!!

Did these people forget that police corps was the strongest machine of Ben Ali's Dictatorship!? Did they forget that few days ago a man was tortured to death in a police station!? Did they forget that we are experiencing a security crisis so police officers should take us out of such an uncomfortable situation instead of raping girls, torturing people or specifying if the one of us is in "immoral position" or not!
