  1. I’m not so sure the 2nd video is saying she was released. It might be but it doesn’t say so explicitly in the description.

    title: “Justice of shame, new warrant of committal against Amina”

    Description of video put thru google translate

    “According Master Leila Ben Debba the lawyer Amina, what happened today is “horrible.”
    “Amina will not be judged by the Correctional Court, since the judge has reconvened to 17 hours after our departure. While the morning, we were sure it would be paid, but I do not understand why was he be brought back to prison Messaadine (Sousse) and we wanted to audition once again. Amina refused and asked to be heard in the presence of his lawyers and that is where the judge issued a warrant of committal against the high school, “said the lawyer to Kapitalis Leila Ben Debba.

    Amina will therefore not have the opportunity to take the examination of BA, which starts on June 5.

    The group of lawyers Amina was attacked today by many extremists from show court. And it was under police surveillance that lawyers were evacuated by other doors.”

  2. Tunisia: Activist Fined but Faces More Charges Over Protests

    A court convicted a Tunisian member of the Ukrainian feminist group Femen on Thursday of carrying an “incendiary object” and fined her $182. The woman, Amina Sboui, remains in custody as prosecutors consider filing more serious charges.

    Ms. Sboui, who has used the name Amina Tyler, posted topless photographs of herself online as part of a women’s rights campaign and tried to carry out a protest on May 19 in the religious center of Kairouan.

    She was arrested and charged with carrying a canister of pepper spray, which the court considered to be an incendiary object. Prosecutors on Thursday said that they were considering filing more serious charges against her, including desecrating a cemetery and offending public decency, her lawyer said.

    The case is the latest episode in the battle over Tunisia’s identity after the overthrow of the secular dictatorship in January 2011 and the subsequent rise of ultraconservative Islamists pushing for greater piety.
