I’ll watch out for it. Have you been following the trial in Tunisia of the TV station owner who screened “Persepolis” just before elections? The thugs who attacked the TV station and the man’s house are free (of course, what else did anyone expect with En-Nahda coming to power?)whereas the man who quite legitimately screened a highly acclaimed film is being prosecuted. Behold the sixth caliphate!
