A small group of French activists have organized an Internet campaign to send roses to the woman who has accused former IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn of attempting to rape her in New York.

At www.une-rose-pour-ophelia.fr, well-wishers are invited to "Offer a rose to Ophelia," a nickname for the 32-year-old chambermaid who has accused Strauss-Kahn of attacking her.
