The trial in Tunisia of three Femen activists who staged a topless protest has been opened and adjourned until next week. The women will remain in custody, a decision denounced by their lawyers.

The postponement follows a request by Islamist groups to be listed as parties to the prosecution.

Pauline Hillier and Marguerite Stern, both French, and the German Josephine Markmann, were arrested following a protest last week in the central Tunisian town of Kairouan, the first by the feminist group in the Arab world.

They face charges of debauchery, which carries a potential six-month jail term.

Amina Tyler, the Tunisian activist whose release the women called for in their protest, has appeared before a judge before being taken back to prison. She reportedly wrote the word “Femen” on a wall in the town’s religious centre, and has been charged with carrying an “incendiary object”.

In Ukraine where the group is based, another Femen activist arrived home after being deported from Tunisia. Oleksandra Shevchenko had travelled to the North African country to support the others who were going on trial.

“Three men broke into my hotel room, I didn’t have time to send a message or call anyone – I was literally in my underwear. They didn’t show any ID, they wouldn’t tell me their names – they said I had to follow them,” she said.

The authorities tried to justify the deportation saying they feared another topless protest. Femen, which says it fights sexual exploitation, dictatorship and religion, argues it has been the victim of cyber attacks.

“Every day this week our website was hacked, so we couldn’t work with it, it was completely down. Only now have our IT specialists informed us that the attacks came from Algeria and Tunisia,” said Shevchenko.

    they have no right to touch a hair of any bird (genuine feemale, not a masculine lady) unless to move them delicately from a private property to the public area, men must discipline their eyes and sexual impulses.

You may think it is a cracking story, or the man at the centre of it is just cracked, but it is definitely one hard act to follow.

French artist Abraham Poincheval has been entombed in a rock for a week. The stunt will see him try to use his body heat to hatch a dozen eggs.

Poincheval was enclosed in the 12 tonne boulder at Paris’ modern art museum on Wednesday. He is set to emerge after seven days with the chicks.

Whether he will need the toilet is anyone’s guess but it is not the first t…

What is sustainable aviation fuel? | EcoCeres | The Big Question HIGHLIGHT

Published

As we head towards carbon-neutral aviation in 2050, the sustainable aviation fuel industry is set to boom.

But is it possible for the aviation industry to grow and for Europe to achieve its sustainability targets? And with increasingly unpredictable geopolitics posing a threat to the continued supply of fuel, how will the industry power its planes?

Recent events have seen the cost of oil go over $100 a barrel which has led to jet fuel doubling in price, jumping from $750 to $1,500.

In this episode of The Big Question, CEO of EcoCeres, Matti Lievonen joined Angela Barnes in the studio to discuss why their sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) could provide the solution.
