Quotes One must never respond to violence with violence. I appealed to everyone to respond to violence with ideas and with words.” If we all stand united against violence, after the killing of Choukri, and create a movement against violence, I am optimistic.” We have not got to the point where we know the truth and the whole truth about terrorism, not only about the assassination of Chokri Belaid.” Violence erupts to distract us.These are not random incidents, they are planned.” External links Category:Living people Category:1970 births Category:women from Tunisia Category: human rights activists Category:Lawyers Category: Africa
