FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Karman, who has voiced her opposition to the ouster of Egypt’s President Mohamed Morsi by the military, was sent back on the same plane she flew in on, the official MENA news agency reported on Sunday.
A spokesman for Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood said Karman had recently joined demonstrations in Cairo calling for Morsi to be reinstated.
Karman’s Twitter feed said on Sunday that the writer and activist had been held at the airport and prevented from joining pro-Morsi protests. She was then put on a flight back to Dubai.
The head of the Egyptian armed forces, General Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, announced on July 3 that Morsi was no longer in office. Sisi also suspended the constitution and dissolved the parliament.
On July 26, a court in Egypt ordered that Morsi be detained over a string of accusations, including killing soldiers.
Since his ouster, Morsi has been held by the army at an undisclosed location. His supporters have been adamantly holding demonstrations across the country.
The Muslim Brotherhood has condemned deportation of the Yemeni laureate, saying the move was reminiscent of the rule of former dictator Hosni Mubarak.
“This is an abandonment of the gains of Egypt’s January (2011) revolution. The government is reproducing the practices of Mubarak’s state security,” said Yasser Ali, a Brotherhood official and former presidential spokesman.
Karman, 34, who became the first Arab woman and second Muslim woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011, has played a key role in the campaigns for democracy and women’s rights in Yemen.
The Yemeni woman became a figure of symbolic importance in Yemen’s 2011 uprising and is called the “Iron Woman” and “Mother of the Revolution” in the country.
