"At the recent Amnesty International Annual General Meeting, we decided to do an action stating we stand with Shaima Alawadi and Trayvon Martin. Check out the action, even Asma Mahfouz, one of the founders of the April 6th Movement in Egypt and nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize participated in the action." -#MillionHijabMarch
