Esra'a El Shafei is talking, she prefers not to have her photo published.

The internet is the only means of communication between Israelis, arabs and Kurds. It is theitr only means to be free.

Mideastyouth is a platform to do this
"We are sick of this opression. We use the power of the internet to fight for the rights you have: to have your religion, freedom of speech, the right to exist."

1) Free Kareem Campaign
Arrested for insulting the islam and the Egyptian president.
We disagree with his atheism, but his freedom of speech is still important to us. FOS is also for those we disagree with.
Organizing rallys.
Art projects: Projected kareems postson the egyptian consulate i London.
