In a country where we can say mostly what we want about what is going on around the world, it's kind of humbling to read about people who say what needs to be said when they could be jailed for it. Or beaten or worse... but a young generation in Egypt is doing that about the human rights injustices in their country. A quote from NPR about one of these youth who are transforming society:
Ahmed Nasser, a young lawyer, says it is up to his generation to reform Egypt.
"I don't want for my generation to be like the one before, because they are responsible for what we are in now," he says as he hands out petitions. "I am from this generation, a new one, and I want it to be different."
