An activist who attempted to spray-paint over an anti-Muslim advertisement in a New York City subway station appeared in court Thursday to face charges of criminal mischief. Mona Eltahawy was offered a plea deal over the September incident but chose to go to trial instead. She told The Guardian: “I actually look forward to standing trial, because I acted out of principle and I’m proud of what I did.”
