Amina is reportedly being detained by family members who found her with the assistance of the police! She is stressed and has no freedom of movement or communication.
Rather than arresting the Islamist who threatened Amina with death by stoning and flogging, the police have assisted her family in detaining her against her will.
Amina has done nothing wrong and must be released immediately.
She is meant to be back at school next week; she must be there. And she must be safe and unharmed.
On 4 April, International Day to Defend Amina, we will remind the Tunisian government, the police, the Islamists and those in her family detaining her against her will that Amina’s protest against misogyny is ours.
She represents us all.
