The Arab Organization for Human Rights (AOHR) expresses its deep concern at the threats that Mrs. Nehad Abo El-Komsan, the Chair of the Egyptian Center for Women’s Rights, received owing to her defense of women’s rights regarding the attacks that attempt to eliminate women’s achievements by the pressure to amend the current Personal Status Code. 

The Egyptian Center for Women's Rights and the Egyptian Coalition for Civil Education and Women's Participation follow up the regressive calls for repealing the social laws in Egypt such as the personal status code and the children’s code in a great worry. These codes were previously amended in order to guarantee the rights of human-beings, including women and children. Those amendments did not reach the extent of an approval of the rights of women and children as fully eligible citizens.

 (Cairo, March 28, 2011) The Egyptian Center for Women's Rights received the news on incidents in Minufiya governorate, for it witnessed a dangerous incident for the first time: 350 Salafis confronted the state law and surrounded a house of a woman in Sadat city, forced her out of her house, threw her house's furniture on the street, burned the house and threatened to kill her if she returned to her home. They did so claiming that her conduct was immoral and dishonorable. When they broke into the house, she was alone; they terrified her and took her out of the house by force. This is considered a dangerous incident, especially as it is not the first time something like this happened.

Le 11 février 2011, la rue égyptienne criait sa joie à l'annonce du départ de Hosni Moubarak. Alors, les égyptiens n'avait qu'un seul slogan à la bouche:le peuple, l'armée une seule main! Dans un tel moment de joie, nul ne voulait se souvenir d'une réalité que, pourtant, nul n'ignorait : l'homme dans lequel les égyptiens ont fondé tous leurs espoirs révolutionnaires est un des hommes les plus fidèles de Moubarak, le maréchal Tantaoui. Tantaoui, 76 ans, est un loyaliste, revêche aux réformes et à toute forme de changement, dont le tempérament et les intentions véritables n'ont pas tardé à faire surface.
