Headscarf issue in Tunisia
An Amnesty International report released on 13 November says that women are being tortured for using headscarf in Tunisia. AI protests such oppression by the Tunisian government. There are instances when a woman was forced to take off her scarf, slapped in public and forced to wear indecent clothes. Another woman was forced to take off scarf and even sent to prison for not agreeing to do so. There are numerous other instances which remain undisclosed.
We strongly voice our support to AI in protest against such heinous acts.
Every person has individual rights which none can violate. We urge the international media to publicise the protest of Amnesty International and of the people from all over the world.
We urge the government of Tunisia to refrain from violating the basic rights of its people .
