7:00Now PlayingRania Amdouni, a 26-year-old Tunisian LGBT+ human rights activist, was arrested on February 27th and sentenced to six months in prison. Fellow activists reported to Reuters that police had increasingly targeted Rania since February, as she was part of the protest against police repression. She was ridiculed for her appearance and sexual orientation when she went to the police station to file a complaint. The police declined to register her complaint and instead imprisoned her after a verbal altercation. Under Article 125 of the penal code, Rania can be punished by up to one year in prison. She is now in custody at a women’s prison in Manouba, west of Tunis. According to her lawyer, the guards at the prison harass and threaten her at night. Amdouni was also charged with “causing embarrassment and disruption” and “apparent drunkenness.” These claims are reportedly unsubstantiated and lacking evidence. Rasha Younes, an LGBT+ rights researcher at Human Rights Watch, condemned the Tunisian authorities for sending this appalling message to victims of discrimination.
