Excerpts: "A misspelling of her name has kept Salwa Mehrez locked up until today. Mehrez, who studied engineering, was arrested in June 2014 among others who were protesting against the protest law. She was tried and convicted for violating the same draconian law she was protesting against." 

"A statement issued on Saturday and co-signed by 14 organisations inducing Nazra for Feminist Studies welcomed the release of women human rights defenders, calling for Mehrez’s release as well as that of human rights defender and lawyer Mahienour El-Masry, who was not included in the pardon."
