Woman's Day: activists accuses the regime of women's rights violations

In a communiqué issued on the occasion of the Woman's Day celebration and the 53th anniversary of the Personal Status Lawbook's issue, Naziha Rjiba, Sihem Bensedrine, and Samia Abbou claimed that the liberation of the woman and the maintaining of her rights and dignity have become slogans
raised by the Tunisian Regime to proclaim itself as a symbol of a democratic system and a precursor of modernity in the country and abroad ; but de facto, it is actually a systems that mistreats women when they object to its policies, join the woman's rights defense or the Tunisians' rights in general, as expressed in the communiqué. The communiqué also indicated that with the propaganda vociferation and the untruthful pretense of advocacy of women's rights, there is an increasing oppression of women activists, the militants' spouses and the relatives of political prisoners by the Tunisian Regime, in an unprecedented ferocity using dirty means disregarding the most basic ethical rules.
