Ms. Chebli, you have had to live with verbal abuse and even death threats for a long time. What has changed since you were attacked on the street, a man shouted at you to "piss off from Germany"? I would say my sense of security. I walk around the city less carefree, which is a shame because I used to love walking with headphones and loud Arabic music to unwind.

Have you ever doubted whether it's all worth it? For a very brief moment, yes. I asked myself at the time whether it all made sense. The next day that feeling was gone and the fighter nature in me came out again.

And have you ever regretted a tweet? No.
