The irony is not lost on the public.
There is a whole rabbit hole packaged with this story about the officials planting the drugs they busted from another case they botched because they wanted her off broadcasting. I guess everyone tied to this who was arrested have zero history of drugs and spoke out against them in some cases. Luckily in egypt like only 5% of the almost 500 death penalty c9nvictions actually got killed. The rest won their appeals for lesser sentences.
