Amina Leaves Femen Because of “Islamophobia”

Categories: Tunisia, Ukraine, Breaking News, Politics, Women & Gender

Amina, the Tunisian activist released from jail early August, left the Femen movement. She accu [1]sed Femen of “Islamophobia”.  Femen confirmed online [2] that:

FEMEN confirms its break with the Tunisian activist Amina Tyler because of differences of opinion on tactics in the Islamic countries (…) FEMEN calls for new heroines who are able to fight for their courage to shake the rotten foundation of Islamist world. Freedom for women of the East!”

Amina published another topless picture [3] on the Femen's website on August 15th, before expressing her decision to leave the movement. All this turmoil does not really help a clearer reading of Femen's objectives.
