The office of Egypt’s General Prosecutor released a statement announcing that a warrant has been issued for the arrest of the alleged perpetrators of the 2014 gang rape known as the #FairmontIncident. The incident first came to light on social media and has served to further catalyze Egypt’s long-overdue reckoning against systemic sexual harassment and assault.

According to the General Prosecutor’s statement, “the accused have been placed under a travel ban list, and are expected to undergo questioning and investigations once placed in custody.”
