Feminist activists were arrested Monday evening by police during a collage action on the streets of Toulouse of a caricature by Charb representing a naked posterior next to the inscription: “And Muhammad’s ass, are we allowed?” “
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”, and exercise their “Right to blasphemy”, three days after the beheading near Paris of a teacher who had shown caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad during a course on freedom of expression.
Interested by passers-by curious about the purpose of their approach, or even aggressive, the activists do not respond or very little. “We have to go quickly because it remains a risky action, we are not there to give a press conference”, says the organizer of the action, who prefers to remain anonymous.
“A man was slaughtered in France for showing caricatures”, she finally says 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 to “Wild posting offense”, especially on classified sites.
