I found this article interesting because these bold women reached out to the community about their experiences with the local police forces. Under multiple dictatorships, it took a lot to expose the truths behind their local law enforcement departments.
Hamida Ajengui was 21 when she was arrested and taken to the department where she was hung upside down, stripped, beaten, and threatened with rape. The police in this country used shame as a way to get prisoners to see others being tortured and convincing them that they are worthless and life wouldn’t get any better for them even if they were released. The point of this experiment is to get all of these testimonies o the government during public hearings and exposing the corruption and violence within their government.
