A Tunisian activist said on French television Saturday that she feared for her life after courting controversy by posting topless pictures of herself online in support of Arab women's rights last month.
The young woman, who goes by the name of Amina Tyler, provoked the ire of Islamist groups when she posted the pictures of herself online with the words "My body belongs to me" and "Fuck your morals" emblazoned across her naked breasts, in feisty homage to the Ukrainian women's power group Femen.
Shortly after, she disappeared from public view, raising fears that she had suffered reprisals at the hands of extremists and giving rise to a number of rallies around the globe supporting her.
In the interview with Canal Plus television's special reports show "Effet Papillon" broadcast Saturday, a tired-looking Tyler said she was afraid for her safety in Tunisia. Full story...
