Tunisian sex workers demand brothel reopening

A group of Tunisian sex workers have demanded to be allowed to return to work, 18 months after their brothel in the coastal town of Sousse was attacked by Salafists and closed down.

A delegation in Tunis, the capital, on Tuesday handed deputy parliamentary speaker Meherzia Laabidi, a petition signed by 120 women calling for their brothel in the resort to be allowed to reopen.

Right to work issue?

Souhir said that, in 2012, Salafists had attacked the building where she used to work and "looted everything they found there and put us out of work".

There are numerous brothels in Tunisia, where prostitution is regulated by the state, the AFP news agency reported.

Tunisia revolution devolving?
