The woman in this picture symbolizes one thing: courage.
Yassine El Brigui later received a 6 month suspended sentence for desecrating the Tunisian flag at the University of Manouba, Tunisia.
The woman to the left stepped up and protested at his replacement of the national flag with that of the Caliphate.
She is a true heroine.
The southeastern Tunisian town of Ben Guerdane awoke yesterday morning to the news that three locals had been killed in Syria. The three young Tunisian men joined the ranks of Syrian opposition fighters in their uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, reported Tunisian daily Assabah.
The three victims were Bolababh Boklech, Walid Hilal, and Mohamed el-Jeri. They all traveled to Syria to join forces with the Free Syrian Army, which opposes the al-Assad regime, and were accompanied by two other Tunisians – one of whom never made it into Syria.
Middle East Panorama, a Lebanese news website, reported that four Tunisians had infiltrated Syria via Turkey, close to the border area of Bidama in Idlib, which has been a bastion of opposition against the al-Assad government since March 2011. The three Tunisians died during recent clashes with al-Assad’s forces.
The fourth Tunisian was able to escape the battle zone between the Free Syrian Army and al-Assad’s forces and subsequently returned to Turkey. The families of the victims wrote a letter to the Tunisian Ministry of Foreign Affairs asking for the bodies of their sons to be repatriated.

You cannot avoid it. Men are in the street with you, and you have to go to school, you have to go to work. Because it is in our daily life, because it is our every day experience, we end up accepting it. You leave your house mentally prepared. You just deal with it
