part 3 Love relations in Tunisia
Fooled?

First a warning - if a woman was trapped by a Bezness man, finds it out and then wants to terminate the relationship, she should be cautious.

In the year 2008, there were several incidents in which women in such a "last debate" were raped, physically injured and in one case even killed. To such a debate, a woman should therefore never go alone (take a friend, or better a man with you) and, in particular, never take place alone with the ex-lover in a remote or non-public place (eg. an apartment).

Even if a dangerous situation is not always and automatically imminent, one should be very cautious and prevent any situations that could escalate!

In the case of threats, but also fraud or theft, immediately inform the police. They are used to this kind of crimes and will usually show no mercy. And even if the person should mange to get away this time, he won't if it happens again - and so informing the local police not only can protect oneself, but also possible victims in the future!

Even when you have the impression that, in a conversation with the police, they do not believe you or try to blame you - the police in the tourist areas know such situations from daily experience and will pursue their task to helpand protect tourists using their best efforts. There is absolutely no reason for shame or restrain!

And you should also consider one more step to - namely, to go public and in the relevant Internet forums where you can report this (negative) experience, either in anonymous form (without naming names) or by putting an entry into a "black list of Bezness men of Tunisia".

In forums you you will often hear the assertion that such reports are made by women who only want to "hurt" a man by telling lies about him.

This assertion, however, is usually wrong, according to all actual experiences, because on one hand, false accusations in discussions forums will in almost all cases be reveiled quite fast (or true accusations confirmed) by other forum members, and secondly, one is well aware that a "mistake" in one particular case does not automatically constitute a wrong doing in another case - but it is certainly a strong hint to a potential successor to be very cautious!

The End of this article series - go back to the start
