Tunisians protest 'blasphemous' film
|
[Iran Press TV] Thousands of Tunisians have held a demonstration in Tunis over the airing of an animated movie, which many Mohammedans regard as blasphemous, by a private television station.
The demonstrators gathered outside the Tunisian prime minister's office in the capital on Friday.
A holy man at al-Fatah mosque in downtown Tunis described the film as "a serious attack on the religious beliefs of Mohammedans," the News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported.
Police fired tear gas to disperse the protesters.
Meanwhile,
...back at the pond, the radioactive tadpoles grown into frogs. Really big frogs, in fact...
Nabil Karoui, the owner of the Nessma private television station that aired the film, said a group of protesters later showed up outside his home in the north of the capital on Friday.
Karoui apologized for airing the film earlier this week, calling the decision a "mistake."
Many commentators questioned the wisdom of airing such a controversial film ahead of the Constituent Assembly election in Tunisia, which will be held on October 23.
It will be the first election in Tunisia since dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was tossed in January.
