"... an egyptian man tweeted that it would not be the right time for the women in Egypt to go to the streets and demand their rights. I do not agree with this guy.
And I remember a woman's reply, saying HOW LONG shall we wait when we listen to others?, and she said that the women do not wait - and the women and mothers took the streets for demand their rights !
This exhibition did not wait, we artists did not wait, in these election times of choosing between the One or the Other, with no clear statement for future regards all the political prisoners and in face of the continuing crimes against women, girls, in view of the daily sexual harassment. We did not wait - and we do not wait - we go on - together, women and men, sons, daugthers, mothers and fathers.
This exhibition is one step in our long march for to bring an end to sexual harassment - it is a long and stony road, with many walls, but we go it together and we will not give up! ..."
(Excerpt from my greetings to the visitors of the exhibition opening.)
The streets are our's, too!

Testimonies on the Recent Sexual Assaults on Tahrir Square Vicinity
"... Nazra for Feminist Studies is publishing three testimonies of women who were sexually assaulted by a mob on Mohammed Mahmoud Street on Saturday, 2 June. The collective sexual assault and harassment that took place on the vicinity of Tahrir Square on June 2 and 8, 2012 shed light on the gravity of sexual harassment and assault on Egyptian streets. Although the three testimonies do not account for the entirety of the brutality that many women experienced on that Saturday and the Friday after, they are one example that offers a window to the dynamics of mob sexual assault and harassment on those two days, which are not the first of its kind."

المنشية - نصب الجندي المجهول - اسكندرية
دستور الاخوان الجديد اللي كانوا مكويين قبل الثورة بنار الامحاكمات العسكرية بيبيح المحاكمات العسكرية للمدنيين , حاجة كان الاخوان قبل الثورة بيطالبوا بالغائها.. المحاكمات العسكرية دي بتطول الغلابة و منهم أهالي القرصاية اللي بس متمسكين بحقهم في أرضهم يوم التلات 8 يناير فيه وقفة في القاهرة تضامنا معاهم و احنا في اسكندرية حنتضامن معاهم في نفس الوقت كبداية حملة لا للمحاكمات العسكرية للمدنيين القصة من الأول : يوم 18 نوفمبر 2012 هاجمت قوات الجيش جزيرة القرصاية، و حاولت طرد السكان بالقوة بزعم ان الجزيرة ملك الجيش، و استشهد محمد عبد الموجود برصاص الجيش و احيل 26 من سكان الجزيرة لمحاكمة عسكريّة. الحقيقة ان اللي بينتهك القانون في الحالة دي هم الجيش لأنهم تجاهلوا حكم نهائي من الادارية العليا في 2010 بيقر حق أهل الجزيرة في الأرض. أهالي جزيرة القرصاية بيتحاكموا عسكري عشان رفضوا يتخلوا عن أرضهم و سكنهم و كمان ال26 المقبوض عليهم مش كلهم من ساكني الجزيرة, فيهم صيادين بيشتغلوا باليومية هناك و فجاة لقوا نفسهم محبوسين و بيتحاكموا عسكري بسبب صراع هم مش طرف أصلا به. النطق بالحكم في القضية يوم 14 يناير ... تضامنكم مهم, و الضمان الوحيد لانصاف أهالي جزيرة القرصاية تسلسل الأحداث: -في 2007 أصدر مجلس الوزراء قرارا بإخلاء جزيرة القرصاية من سكانها بدعوى تحويل أرضها إلى محمية طبيعية. - و نشرت بعض الصحف وقتها خطط الحكومة في استثمار االجزيرة و تحويلها لمنشآة سياحية. - طعن أهالى الجزيرة على القرار الصادر من مجلس الوزراء، فحكمت محكمة القضاء الإدارى لصالحهم و أقرت أحقية سكان الجزيرة فى البقاء بمساكنهم. - طعن مجلس الوزراء ووزارة الزراعة ومحافظة الجيزة على الحكم في نفس السنة -في 2007 حاول الجيش بالفعل اخلاء الجزيرة بالقوة لكن الأهالي تصدوا لهم و قامت حركة شعبية للتضامن معهم فجمدت خطط الجيش و الحكومة للجزيرة "مؤقتا" - في 6 فبراير 2010 حكمت محكمة القضاء الإداري على مجلس الوزراء وزارة الزراعة بعدم إخلاء جزيرة القرصاية وأكدت أحقيّة أهالى الجزيرة فى البقاء بمساكنهم - حكم نهائي و ملزم للاطلاع على نص الحكم

No Military Trials For Civilians!
by the military regime scaf since the downfall of dictator mubarak - and the new government
has not stopped this, it continues.
Peaceful protestors were detained and imprisoned. Many of them were convicted on false accusations.
Family members, friends, lawyers, when they asked for the detained, they got also detained and imprisoned.
Also passers-by who were in the area, and had not at all the intention of joining a protest or demonstration
- even children - were beaten, arrested, tortured, kidnapped, detained, sentenced to long prison terms
or even got killed.
The Rights of Freedom of opinion and expression,
