She also got in contact with Kolena Laila http://kolenalaila.com/ and everyone in this group felt they had to support her. Since there is actually no legal way fo her to deal with this, and since all institutes there have failed her, her only way is to raise alot of media attention to pur pressure on the Egyptian Counslet there.And we need to focus all our efforts and attention- atleast for now- on Heba as an indevidual case. Because it is not just a matter of letting everyone know what's happening, it is also her ONLY hope of solving her problem. Maybe later on after this is solved we can discuss all the issues Heba's case brought to our attention. It wasn’t just the facebook group.

I cannot mention how much was written, blogs, facebook pages...etc. The cause dies and with it dies the attention.Proactive people its PROACTIVE not reactive...

I shared the Facebook group with 200 of my friends. I hope the campaign snowballs and gathers pace.But something worries me - if the campaign really goes international, how will the Father react? Would Saudi law protect him (on the grounds that she was bringing shame on his family) if he did something drastic and terrible.I suppose Heba's stand is one tiny battle in the long war towards equal rights for women within the Kingdom.I should mention something else to you - the Economist magazine (last week) had a major special on the Arab world. It was well-researched, wide-ranging and quite fascinating. I thought of young liberal Arabs like yourself as I was reading it. Worth getting hold of if you haven't already. This is a very sad story.
