TUNIS (AFP) – Around 300 Tunisian Salafists on Sunday attacked the headquarters of a private TV station that aired a French-Iranian film and organised a debate on religious extremism, the channel said.
“Three hundred people attacked our offices and tried to set fire to them,” Nessma chairman Nebil Karoui told AFP, explaining that death threats had been sent after Friday night’s showing of Persepolis, an animation film on the Khomeiny era in Iran.
