Kampagne für die inhaftierte tunesische Transfrau Hèlà - Bonita - 08.02.2017
Maria bat mich diese Kampagne für die inhaftierte tunesische Transfrau Hèlà im Forum an Euch weiterzuleiten; Jede Woche werden LGBTs in Tunesien verfolgt und verhaftet, geschlagen, gefoltert; Hèlà forderte Freiheit für sich und eine andere inhaftierte Transfrau, dafür wurde sie am 19. Januar von einem Gericht zu 4 Monaten in einem Männergefängnis verurteilt (was das bedeutet wissen wir):

Every week LGBT people in Tunisia get arrested and attacked. This is how
you can help.
Dear Maria,
Imagine being on your way home after a fun night out with friends.
*Suddenly the police stop your car and arrest you – for no other reason
than they don't like the way you look*.
It happened recently to two trans girls here in Tunisia.
*After the arrest, the police forced one of them to testify against the
other. They insulted, beat, and tortured one of them, Hèlà*. Because she
spoke out for her rights, the police initiated a prosecution against her.
On January 19, a transphobic judge convicted Hèlà of "indecency" and
*sentenced her to four months in a horrible men’s jail exposing her to
even more violence*. My friends at Shams and I will soon be going back
to court to appeal the decision. But it will take a huge, global outcry
to convince authorities to set Hèlà free.
*No one should be jailed because of who they are. Click here to sign the
petition asking Tunisia’s Prime Minister to free Hèlà.

Trans people under attack. Help free Hèlà.

This is not the first time this has happened: *the LGBT community in
Tunisia is under attack*. Every week people get arrested or beaten up,
just for who they are or who they love.
If we can help Hèlà, we will show that love can win in Tunisia. We will
work hard to fight the sentence. But we need your help to win the case.
We know there's hope because we've seen it work before in our region.
Last year, *over 100,000 All Out members helped free two teenage girls
jailed in Morocco for a kiss*.
*Maria – will you sign and ask the Prime Minister to free Hèlà?
