Engineer and political activist Salwa Mehrez took part in a protest in front of Ettehadiya Presidential Palace denouncing the protest law. Salwa was sentenced to three years in Qanater women’s prison for breaking that same law. Political prisoners like Mehrez were not allowed glass cups in Qanater, but she managed to get a glass jar from a criminal inmate. Mehrez was pardoned by presidential decree, but still drinks her hot drinks from a jar after her release.
