Press Release
You Imprison the Honorable Girls and Women of Alexandria?! How Do You Pass Judgment?
(Translated)

The Misdemeanor Court of Sidi Gaber sentenced the adult female defendants to 11 years in actual prison in Case No. 25790 of 2013 and the placement of 7 juvenile females at a juvenile detention center until reaching the legal age, and sentenced six agitators in absentia to 15 years imprisonment. The prejudicial rules that have been issued against the girls were based on flimsy charges. The public prosecutor charged the girls of joining a terrorist group, illegal gathering, the use of force, vandalizing shops and property, disturbing public peace, and disrupting the interests of citizens while protesting. The police had arrested the girls for organizing a human chain on the Corniche in Alexandria, on Thursday, 31 of October under the name of the movement, the 7am movement. Everyone who followed the case noted the quick speed by which the case was decided, while the cases of the corrupt Mubarak regime taking a long give and take!

The imprisonment of Muslim girls in Alexandria is a violation of the sanctities and it terrorizes and intimidates people, it is absolutely unacceptable to deal with honorable girls and women in this way.

Dear noble sisters...

The Muslim woman has been deprived the right to exercise her "real" political rights throughout the years that followed the demolition of the Khilafah "Caliphate"! This also remained the same after the Arab Spring revolutions as they did not translate into a radical change that is consistent with the doctrine of Islam, the Aqeedah of this Ummah. The aspired political right for women is not the mock participation through seats in Parliament and representation through quotas or their involvement in committee sessions, while at the same time they are prevented from expressing their opinion and even arrested and tried for many years in prison!

Dear noble sisters...

You will not be able to exercise your political right and obtain your status and weight under democratic, civil or military regimes that neglect women affairs except in propaganda and advertising...! They make you, my dignified sister, toil and suffer for the survival of these systems, and if you scream out of grief and oppression they hurl you in prison for years!!

We assert definitely and inevitably, Allah willing, that the only state in which women would live esteemed and dignified, and attain their right, value and weight in the righteous Khilafah "Caliphate" state. Under which, women carried the Islamic call (da'wah), supported the prophecy, and remained steadfast on the truth. She is the first martyr and the first physician in Islam. She is the scientist, the scholar, and the skilled politician. She nurtures and plays with her children, and at the same time elects the governor and accounts him...  She is the respected judge, and an honor that must be protected. We are in the women's section of the Hizb ut Tahrir, we invite you, O sisters to work with us to re-establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" state, which gives us glory in this world and dignity in the Hereafter...
