Egypt’s ruling military council has dropped charges against one of the most well-known activists in the revolution, following criticism from human rights groups of subjecting civilians to military trials. Asmaa Mahfouz was arrested last week for allegedly inciting violence against Egypt’s armed forces for comments she made on the social networking site Facebook. The military council also dropped charges against Louai Nagati, who was arrested for disturbing public order during protests in late July. According to Human Rights Watch, at least 10,000 civilians have been sentenced by military courts in Egypt since January.
