Here is background on the case egyptianstreets.com/2020/12/18/sex… #حق_بسنت_فين
As revenge & to silence her, the lawyer of the men accused her of “violating family values.” The #Egyptian regime has used that charge this year to convict and imprison female TikTok users. The regime has also detained witnesses in a gang rape case. feministgiant.com/p/why-do-they-…
#Egyptian women are criminalized, slut-shamed and punished in the name of “morality” and "family values" even when they’re the victims of sexual harassment, assault or rape. Meanwhile, men parade like this

Fuck the fascist patriarchy and its criminalization and appropriation of the bodies of women, femmes and queer people feministgiant.com/p/essay-macho-… #Egypt
In the name of “morality” and safeguarding “Egyptian family values,” the Egyptian regime has arrested and jailed at least 9 young, mostly working class women for singing, dancing, and posting selfies on Tik-Tok, fully clothed and some in hijab. huffpost.com/archive/in/ent…
The homoerotic display of graduates of the Egyptian Police Academy above took place in a viciously homophobic country where a 2017 crackdown against the LGBTQ community targeted mostly gay men after rainbow flags were flown at a concert in Cairo for Lebanese band Mashrou’ Leila.
Those same bare and barrel-chested police cadets on display for our fascist fuck of a dictator are the same who are paid to entrap, arrest and torture LGBTQ people in Egypt. Fuck the patriarchy in every time zone and every universe feministgiant.com/p/essay-macho-…
