Al Arabiya with The Associated Press -
After months of reportedly going into hiding, the outspoken
Tunisian feminist who sparked a trend of “topless jihad” has been found
and arrested by Tunisian authorities earlier this week and may be
charged for conducting “provocative acts.”
Amina Tyler, 19, was
found in the midst of police scuffles with hardline Salafist group Ansar
al-Shariah in the central Tunisian city of Kairouan on Sunday.
Tyler previously described herself as a member of the Ukrainian feminist group
Femen, which uses nudity in protests.
Witnesses said she allegedly scrawled “Femen” on the wall near the main mosque
and may have intended to hang a banner on the building before an angry
crowd gathered and started shouting at her to leave, according to The
Associated Press.
Video posted by the Tunisian online Nawaat news site shows Tyler, with dyed
blonde hair, clutching a banner and being
hustled away by police and put into a van as residents chased her.
A local resident shouts at the camera: “She is dishonoring us. We will
protect our town, but a dirty girl like her shouldn’t come among us.”
Mohammed Ali Aroui, the spokesman for the Tunisian interior ministry, described
her acts as provocative and said she was under investigation and may be
charged for her behavior on Sunday. He added that he understood the
angry reaction of local residents to her appearance.
The ministry had banned Ansar al-Shariah’s annual conference, citing it as a
threat
to security and public order, and sent 11,000 soldiers and police to
prevent hardline Muslims, known as salafis, from entering Kairouan.
In March, Tyler posted pictures of her topless body with the phrase “my body is
my own” scrawled on it, and she went into hiding after receiving death threats.
Her family took her to stay with relatives outside the capital before she
escaped and
hid with friends.
A month later, Tyler had been trying to leave Tunisia, her former lawyer said
after a video surfaced in which the woman
recounted being drugged and given virginity tests by relatives.
“Free Amina” rallies held by bare-breasted Femen activists hit Paris last month
as Tyler’s supporters feared she would soon face criminal prosecution.
