    @monaeltahawy None of the martyrs are in any way related to me but it still breaks my heart just as if they were.

    5 or 6 surrounded me, groped and prodded my breasts, grabbed my genital area and I lost count how many hands tried to get into my trousers.

    I can barely imagine what my family and loved ones were going through those 12 hours-I know they were worried about me to begin with. Sorry

    The past 12 hrs were painful and surreal but I know I got off much much easier than so many other Egyptians.
