Tunisian women condemn killing of Mahsa Amini, confirm their support for Iran’s protests

Tunisian civil rights activists staged a protest yesterday Friday in front of the Iranian Cultural Center in Tunis to support the protests of Iranian women and denounce the repression of their rights and freedoms.

Naila Zoghlami, president of the Tunisian Association of Democratic Women, told A24 that the association supports movements condemning the killing of Iranian Mahsa Amini, adding that neither the authority nor in the name of religion has the right to control women’s bodies and restrict their freedoms.

Participants raised banners reading, “My body is not sin” and “we stand with and support women in Iran”.

They also chanted slogans calling for women’s freedom in Iran and demanding an end to all forms of discrimination against women.
