Muslim Brotherhood Statement on Release of Seven Damietta Girls Monday
The steadfastness and the will of Damietta Province girls triumphed over the will of the tank and the junta after more than 420 days in military prisons... a tribute to the women of the January 25 (2011) Revolution, their resilience, and their families who stand firm behind them.
However, their acquittal and release will not erase the shame of jailing them in the first place. That will continue to be a curse on the military junta for their crimes, which afflicted more than 1,500 girls and women over the past 3 years – since the start of the murderous treasonous military coup.
A tribute to the men and women of the 2011 Revolution, for their persistent protests and selfless devotion, especially over the past few days, and all Egyptians on social networking websites, who blogged in support of the values of truth and freedom.
Soon, the people will exact retribution from each and every official and henchman guilty of crimes against Egyptian women.
