wow , she is from alexandria , my city  :o
i wonder what will happen to her now , i really hope she gets through this
laws in egypt are always indirect and complicated , like there are no laws that say LGBT are illegal but there are laws that applied indirectly , like "impersonating" in case of transsexuals , although i strongly think no legal action will be taken against her because of the media coverage of her story . however, people reactions are very bad , i really hope she's ok

We can only hope she is.

The outlook doesn't look good.
