Two Tunisian policemen sentenced to 7 years in prison for raping a woman

Two Tunisian policemen were sentenced on Monday to seven years in prison for raping a woman in a case that has captured international attention for the victim.

Earlier in court, the two policemen had denied the charge, instead accusing the woman of seeking to have sex with them.

"They denied everything," Radhia Nasraoui, a lawyer of the young woman known by her pseudonym Meriem Ben Mohamed said.

Koutheir Bouallegue, another of the victim's lawyers, confirmed the policemen denied raping her.

After the verdict Nasraoui said she was "very disappointed" and thought it was too "lenient".

Three police officers faced trial over the incident, which took place in September 2012, two of whom were accused of rape.
