(ANSAmed) - TUNIS, MAY 24 - The first hearing in a trial
against Amina Tyler, the 19-year-old Tunisian Femen activist
arrested Sunday for writing on a cemetery's wall and for
possession of pepper spray, has been scheduled on May 30. She
risks a sentence of up to two years in jail for the graffiti and
up to six months over the spray.
Meanwhile in an interview broadcast on television, the girl's mother said Amina has psychological problems and has been treated for a few years now at the El Razi hospital, showing doctors' certificates she said proved her claim. The woman said her daughter was angry because she and her husband had moved to Saudi Arabia for work, leaving their children behind in Tunis.
Amina cannot stand the separation and her protests with the topless Femen group are only a symptom of her anger at her parents. She also claimed Amina, who has posted topless pictures of herself online, is being manipulated by someone to adopt 'obscene' behavior. (ANSAmed)
