The Nobel Peace Prize-winning human rights activist, Tawakkol Karman, has been critical of the Egyptian regime's media outlets and their ongoing smear campaigns against the Muslim Brotherhood since the military coup against the first elected Egyptian president, Mohamed Morsi.

In a post on her official Facebook page, Tawakkol Karman indicated that the pro-Sisi media outlets since the first day of the coup against the democratically-elected president and the constitutional legitimacy has not stopped repeating the same allegations that the Muslim Brotherhood and President Morsi threatened to use force when they saw that there were attempts to remove them from power after they had come to it through the ballot box.

Mrs. Karman has also criticized Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi for claiming in his last speech that former President Morsi personally threatened him with the use of force, noting that Morsi may have threatened to use force to defend the legitimate authority, as evidenced by the fact that no one was killed or imprisoned except Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood and their supporters.

But despite that, it was Morsi's right and perhaps duty to use force to prevent the coup against legitimacy and the constitution, Karman added

She concluded that the Egyptian coup's brutality and the accompanying horrific violations against the opponents would push even the world's most civil liberal party to take up arms and defend themselves and their democratic gains.
