Feminists arrested after pasting cartoons linked to Muhammad

Municipal police officers, Place du Capitole in Toulouse.

-

Three days after the beheading of Samuel Paty, feminist activists wanted to exercise their “right to blasphemy”.

They were arrested Monday evening by the police during an action of pasting in the streets of Toulouse of a caricature of Charb representing a naked posterior next to the inscription: "And the ass of Mahomet, one has the right ?

"

"A risky action"

Armed with buckets filled with glue and brushes, the three activists had the ambition to stick a thousand posters "to flood the city center of Toulouse".

Interested by passers-by curious about the purpose of their approach, or even aggressive, the activists do not respond or very little.

"We must go quickly because it remains a risky action, we are not there to give a press conference", then said the organizer of the action who prefers to remain anonymous.

"A man was slaughtered in France for showing caricatures," she finally said to a very insistent onlooker.

Barely half an hour after the start of their action, they were arrested by the police and taken to the police station for "illegal posting", particularly on classified sites.
