![]() See a wonderful protest of Tunisian for secularism and free speech against the Islamist attempts to silence free speech by attacking the broadcast of the film Persepolis via a TV station: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/video/2011/oct/19/tunis...video A week before Tunisians vote in their country's historic general election – the first since the Arab spring – protesters gathered to demand free speech. Their demonstration was prompted by a series of protests by Islamists against the screening of Persepolis, a 2007 French animated film set during the Iranian revolution. |
