Egypt deports 100 Gaza-bound female activists

Egypt deported Friday dozens of women activists, who had flown in to Cairo but been barred from entering the country in their bid to reach the neighboring Gaza Strip, an airport official said.

Prison wasn't an option?

Who'd want to keep them around for years?

Good point...

About 100 women, most of them from Europe and the United States, had hoped to enter the Palestinian enclave through Egypt's Rafah border crossing to celebrate International Women's Day on Saturday.

Eleven women were sent back to Istanbul, another 22 to Paris and six to Frankfurt, the official said. They were among 65 activists deported over the past 24 hours, some from the United States, France, Belgium and Switzerland, the official added.

Northern Irish Nobel Laureate Mairead Maguire and ~~the odious~~ American anti-war activist Medea Benjamin were deported earlier this week.

Egypt controls the Rafah border crossing into Gaza, the only one that bypasses Israel, and is ~~cooperating~~ colluding with the Israeli occupation authorities in blockading the territory.

#3 Getting an education in what a real male dominated and police state is about rather than the one's they've accused of being. Reality bites their fantasy world.

#5 On the Road to Gaza
100 Dames run wild in olde Egypt. Until their leader has her wing broken. Laughs abound, not for the straight-laced.

Rantburg gives in a 2.2 out of Pi.

#6 From Sisi's surveillance squads' cameras,
someone published some footage unglamorous.
Western wymyn ran riot!
How could they keep quiet?
'Twas "Innocence of Broads" made them clamorous.
