Foreign Woman Attacked in Egypt’s Tahrir Square
Challah Hu Akbar | Jan 26, 2012 | 1 comment

CHALLAH @ Bikya Masr

    A foreign woman was stripped and sexually assaulted on Wednesday evening in Egypt’s iconic Tahrir Square, one eyewitness said on Twitter and another confirmed in an email to Bikyamasr.com.

    The woman, who’s identity has not been revealed, was taken away in an ambulance after being assaulted for 10 minutes. Her husband reportedly was unable to intervene and witnessed the incident.

    “I saw the woman and then dozens of men surrounded her and started grabbing her, when she screamed for help some people came, but they were hit in the face,” wrote one witness.

    What happened next was “appalling,” said the trusted witness, who asked for anonymity. “The men just started tearing at her clothes and grabbing her body all over. When she fought back, they pushed her. It was chaos.”

    There were unconfirmed reports that the men “violated” her with their hands.

The report adds some interesting and shocking statistics:

    Instances of sexual assaults on female journalists covering the events in Tahrir Square have continued in the year since Mubarak’s ouster.

    According to studies conducted by the Egyptian Center for Women’s Right (ECWR) in 2008, 98 percent of foreign women and 83 percent of Egyptian women surveyed had experienced sexual harassment in Egypt.

    Meanwhile, 62 percent of Egyptian men confessed to harassing women and 53 percent of Egyptian men faulted women for “bringing it on.”

This assault should bring forth memories of the assaults on Lara Logan, Mona Eltahway, and Caroline Sanz.

Egypt may be turning in to a horror but carter will not believe it.

It's a real shame it has to be this way. I would have liked to see the pyramids one day in person and seen some of the museums there. I can see it's completely unsafe though and of course they're also enemies of Israel.

Egypt may be turning in to a horror but carter will not believe it.

Maybe he could ask Lara Logan how things are there these days.

According to the Nazi-Egyptians, its the women's fault for 'tempting' the men.


So in answer to the question... women can go to Egypt, as long as they don't TEMPT the men.

I don't think any woman should visit any Muslim country.
