Egypt Govt to tackle Sexual harassment as Inauguration Assaults Spark OUTRAGE . . .
Newly elected Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has ordered his government to battle sexual harassment following a string of sexual assaults during inauguration celebrations on Sunday.
Seven men between the ages of 15 and 49 were arrested on Monday for attacking women during festive celebrations following Sisi's inauguration ceremony on Sunday, according to the Interior Ministry. The arrests came after public outrage mounted over a graphic video showing an apparently sexually harassed woman leaving the scene of the celebrations.
The men were arrested under a new law issued last week, which defines and criminalizes sexual harassment for the very first time. Under the law, abusers will receive at least six months in jail or face fines starting from 3,000 Egyptian pounds (US$420).
In an attempt to battle the sexual violence which has intensified since the Arab Spring protests, Sisi “instructed the minister of interior...to vigorously enforce the law and take all necessary measures to combat sexual harassment, an unacceptable form of conduct," the presidency said in a statement on Tuesday.
"The president calls on all citizens to undertake their part to reinstate the true spirit of ethical and moral values in Egyptian society...This should come in parallel with the state's efforts to robustly enforce the law."
In the shaky video posted on YouTube on Sunday, one can see a partially nude woman with severe bruises on her back and hips being dragged away from the crowd – the remains of her clothing ripped in the process – by a policeman taking her to an ambulance.

"Saya keluar dari persegi dengan anak-anak perempuan 7 dan 9 tahun saya apabila kita melihat sekumpulan lelaki bergegas dari tepi jalan ke arah kami," seorang wanita memberitahu seorang pendakwa negeri, seperti yang dipetik oleh Reuters.
"Saya merayu kepada mereka untuk membiarkan anak-anak perempuan saya pergi dan mereka membawa saya dan, kemudian mengoyakkan pakaian saya dengan pisau dan menyerang seksual saya."
Satu lagi mangsa berkata beliau diseret jauh dari orang ramai, dilepaskan bajunya, dan diserang.
However, this woman was not the only victim of the raging crowd of men at the iconic Tahrir Square, which has become a symbol of revolution in Egypt. Other women testified about more attacks at the scene.
"I was coming out of the square with my seven- and nine-year-old daughters when we saw a group of men rushing from a side street in our direction," one woman told a state prosecutor, as quoted by Reuters.
"I begged them to let my daughters go and take me and they did, then tore my clothes with a knife and sexually assaulted me."
Another victim said she was dragged away from the crowd, undressed, and assaulted.
