The sons of rich and powerful men are protected and enabled: #Egypt halts investigation into a gang rape known as the “Fairmont incident,” releases all detained defendants thenationalnews.com/mena/egypt/egy… via @TheNationalNews
Three of the nine defendants in the Fairmont Incident case, were referred to a criminal court last month for another alleged sexual assault.
The three are accused of raping another woman at a resort on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast.

The daughters of the poor and powerless: In the name of “morality” and safeguarding “Egyptian family values,” the regime arrested and jailed at least 9 young, mostly working class women for singing, dancing, and posting selfies on Tik-Tok feministgiant.com/p/essay-macho-… #Egypt
Clearly, “Egyptian family values” do not apply to the rapist sons of the rich and powerful. Just to the daughters who are raped and the daughters whose bodies are criminalized and slut-shamed.

Patriarchy-in this case the #Egyptian regime-reserves its moral crusades for queer people & women, especially the daughters of the working class, but not the sons of the wealthy who rape & sexually assault, nor the police who bare barrel chests for Sisi.
The war on women’s bodies comes at a time when unprecedented # of women are exposing sexual assault. Sisi’s regime is trying to terrorize women into silence. The halt in the Fairmont case and release of defendants is latest reminder.
