I hope this gets through, the last email I tried to send about Tunisian
teachers striking against Israel's presence at the Summit never made it
to the plenary list.

Beaten in Tunis
By Pascal Riche | bio
From: Foreign Affairs
Yesterday, my friend and colleague of Libération Christophe Boltanski
was attacked by several men in a street of Tunis, where he was reporting
on the repression of human rights activists. He just wrote a story
headlined "Demonstrators Beaten by Police in Tunis."
He was badly beaten and stabbed in the back by four unidentified
assailants near his hotel, in the embassy district. He called for help,
but the policemen on guard outside the nearby Czech Embassy did not
react. My colleague filed a complaint this morning before returning to
Paris. We strongly suspect this attack was a deliberate act of
intimidation decided by the Tunisian regime.
Was it really a smart idea to choose such a country for hosting the UN
"World Summit on the Information Society" next week? The Tunisian regime
closes websites, jails dissidents or people expressing their opinions on
the Internet, and now lets a foreign journalist be beaten in an area
packed with policemen. Holding the UN summit there seems like nonsense
to me. There is still time to relocate it.
