And yet, Mona Seif is a finalist for the Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders. The outrage and condemnations have begun, there is a good chance she will never see that award.

Egyptian Terrorist Sympathizer To Receive Human Rights Award?
The Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders, also known as “the Nobel Prize for human rights,” might be awarded to Mona Seif, a young Egyptian activist who is known for supporting terrorism against Israel.
Seif, a biology graduate studentresearching breast cancer mutations, became a prominent activist documenting the 2011 Egyptian uprising from Tahrir Square. She later started the group ‘No to Military Trials for Civilians’ to denounce the Supreme Council of Armed Forces abuses of power.
Her nomination sparked a backlash from pro-Israeli organizations. Human RightsWatch, who chose Seif and the other three finalists, also received harsh criticism.
Seif was nominated largely because of her Twitter account, which includes 220,000 followers. She uses this, and other social media platforms, to express her "tweets of terror" and her hatred for Israel.
In March 2012, Seif wrote, "I am ready to shed my blood in the West Bank and Jerusalem to become a martyr." She also repeatedly declared that, "the day will come when I fight to the death in Gaza." Seif consistently supports Palestinian Authority terrorism against the State of Israel, including firing missiles at Israeli civilians.
"Amnesty, shame," she tweeted, "we are not asking an occupied people to stop the occupation."
An Egyptian human rights activist, Omar Bakli, has spoken out against Seif by expressing his dismay at granting her the award: "The Martin Ennals Award is not intended for terrorist sympathizers." Bakli has repeatedly tried to cancel her nomination since April 2013.
