Description

Demonstrators in the Tunisian capital have voiced their disgust at a case they say has turned a victim into the accused. Two policemen are accused of raping a woman. But the woman and her partner who made the rape allegation have been charged with public indecency, and face a six month jail sentence if convicted. Human rights groups say the case is an outrage in democratic Tunisia, and a sign of growing religious conservatism since the coalition government took power last year. Al Jazeera's Khadija Magardie reports.
