Leading Egyptian Activist Charged with Incitement

HeadlineAug 15, 2011

Hosni Mubarak’s return to court comes as one of the most well-known activists in the revolution that ousted him has been charged. Asmaa Mahfouz appeared in a Cairo courtroom on Sunday to face allegations of inciting violence against Egypt’s armed forces. Mahfouz was arrested for comments she made on the social networking site Facebook. She is well known in Egypt as one of the founders of the April 6 Youth Movement and for a widely circulated web video urging fellow citizens to join the protests in Tahrir Square.
