Egypt Court Acquits 17 in Protest That Saw Mother Shot Dead

The killing of 32-year-old Shaimaa el-Sabbagh played a big role in social media. She was an unarmed protestor killed by police. Of course that's normal by know to happen in Egypt, because no one has the ability to stop it. A picture for Shaimaa with blood all over her face and another protestor was trying to save her went viral. Azza Suleiman was just a citizen that witnessed what happend and gave a statement. Just because her statement was against police no one was protecting her. She was charged in this case. She is starting a campain that wants a law to protect witnesses and encourage them to testify. Egypt needs to protects witnesses and their rights. The court acquitted 17 people.
