Egypt Last year, Egyptian activist Amal Fathy broadcast her experience on social media about being sexually harassed at a bank. In the 12-minute video, she accused the Egyptian government of not protecting women from this type of behavior. Then she paid the price. Najia Bounaim, Amnesty International’s North Africa campaigns director, said in a statement at the time that Fathy’s verdict “makes a mockery of justice.”She is now serving a seven-year prison term on charges that include “propaganda against the state,” after handing out leaflets criticizing the death penalty and posting about human rights violations on social media, human rights groups have said.
After reports emerged in 2018 that she and another female activist, Golrokh Ebrahimi Iraee, had been beaten in custody, a group of U.N. experts called their cases “illustrative of a continuing pattern of harassment, intimidation and imprisonment of those undertaking peaceful and legitimate activities in the defense of human rights.” Both women have participated in hunger strikes to protest their treatment in prison.
