Egyptian authorities
released 21 women and girls. They belonged to a group called the 7A.M. Movement
and they held a protest on October 31 supporting Mr. Morsi. At first they were
condemn to 11 years in prison to support the country’s ousted president over a
street protest. Also the judge ordered that the seven minors had to be held
until they turned 18. Fortunately, a defense lawyer reduced the women's
sentences to one-year suspended and three months of probation for the minors.
In my opinion the
original sentences were excessive and it is clear that they caused an outcry in
Egypt and among international human rights groups. Although I agree that they have to be punished because
they carried arms in the protest and that is illegal but this needs to be
proved.
Unfortunately, in
many countries people are condemned without proofs and in some cases the sentences
are unfair. So, all the people have to know that these things still happen and
then, we have to fight for our rights and live as we deserve.
