Outrage over Tunisia ‘indecency’ case
Growing religious conservatism feared in Tunisia after alleged rape victim is charged with public indecency.

Published On 30 Sep 2012
Demonstrators in the Tunisian capital have voiced their disgust at a case they say has turned a victim into the accused.
Two policemen are accused of raping a woman. But the woman and her partner – who made the rape allegation – have been charged with public indecency, and now face a six month jail sentence if convicted.
Human rights groups say the case is an outrage in democratic Tunisia, and a sign of growing religious conservatism since the coalition government took power last year.
