(ANSAmed) – TUNIS – The Tunisian Interior Ministry on Thursday reprimanded Tunisian media and civil society for rallying in support of a young woman who was raped by police officers, but also confirmed that the violence did take place.

”The justice system is based on facts, and the judges will base their verdicts based on the facts at hand,” Faouzi Jaballah from the Interior Ministry told reporters.

His comments followed on widespread outrage after the 27-year-old victim was summoned by the investigating judge on Wednesday to face charges of ”indecency” from the two police officers accused of raping her.
