Tunisia's streets are filled with protests against two officers who horribly victimized an innocent woman. In September, a woman in Tunisia was raped by police officers, then when she filed a complaint, she was charged in indecency. She was in her car with her fiance when the three officers approached. One of the officers took the man to an ATM to extort money from him, while the others officer raped the woman. As I said at the beginning, the streets are filled with protests against these men, who abused their power with regards the law to hurt this woman. The woman then filed a report about this and the police officer's were being charged with rape and extortion, it was then that the officers stated that they first found the couple in an "immoral position". Although it was never stated clearly what the officers meant by "immoral position", but the couple is facing up to six months in jail...Some protests have been so intense, one man even set himself on fire in protest, and that act really set a whole new wave of riots on their path.
So, this is absolutely pathetic. The fact that these 'police officers' did such an awful thing as raping this woman while extorting the man, is disgusting. But its as if these men attacked her twice, once physically, and then with the law. These three men decided to abuse their power and hide behind the law and turn it around on the woman. Now, that's bad enough, but the really disgusting part, is that its working. When the police officers said they found the couple in an 'immoral position', it actually worked and the couple are undergoing trial, that could send them to jail for six months. Shame on those men, and shame on their judicial system for allowing such vile nonsense.
