M16-960

October 2, 2012: Radhia Nasraoui, a lawyer and human rights activist, is one of the attorneys representing the young couple who were victimized by the police. The woman who was raped by police officers and her fiancé were questioned this morning by an investigating judge in Tunis, who must decide whether or not to charge her with “indecent exposure.” Following an interrogation lasting more than two hours conducted by Mohamed Ben Meftah, the victim’s lawyers said they were “optimistic” that the charges against their client and her fiancé for this offense—which carries a sentence of up to six months in prison—would be dropped. The investigating judge is expected to decide in the coming hours or days whether to “dismiss the case or refer it to the appropriate court.”
