A prominent campaigner for the independence of Tunisia, Gisele Halimi, has died a day after her 93rd birthday.
Ms Halimi was born in Tunisia but moved to France and became a lawyer and politician.

She dedicated her life to the rights of women and the decriminalisation of abortion.
Victories in her legal career included the acquittal in 1972 of a 16-year-old girl who had an abortion following a rape.

Halimi later persuaded French lawmakers to reclassify rape as a crime of the same gravity as murder.
