An Egyptian Instagram advocate welcomed a court decision on Sunday to jail a former university student for eight years for sex crimes after her campaign against his abuse and harassment of women sparked a MeToo movement in her country.
Ahmed Bassam Zaki, aged in his early 20s and from a wealthy family, was detained in July last year after the Instagram campaign and tried after he was charged with indecent assault and the blackmail of at least three women, all aged 18 or younger, between 2016 and last year.
