Scarlett Johansson missed out on playing a trans man
Scarlett Johansson’s recent intervention on behalf of civil rights in Egypt is prompting a mixed response there ranging from gratitude to antisemitic rebuke.
Social media users reacted to a video from the Jewish actress about the arrest of four members of the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights as part of a broader wave of arrests of critics of the government of President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi. Three of the initiative’s detainees have since been released.
“They all face bogus charges that could lead to many more years in prison. In fact, their only crime has been to stand up for the dignity of Egyptians,” Johansson said in the video published on the initiative’s YouTube page. Amnesty International launched a separate campaign for their release.
