Free You’re Heart…

sarah hegazi

Sarah was an Egyptian lesbian activist. She was arrested, imprisoned and tortured in prison in Egypt for three months after flying a rainbow flag at a 2017 Mashrou’ Leila concert in Cairo. She had claimed asylum and was living in Canada while undergoing PTSD from the prison torture experience she underwent in Egypt.

Around The Same Time, Hegazy caught the attention of Egyptian authorities in October 2017, After being freed from prison, Hegazy was granted asylum in Canada, but continued to suffer from PTSD and depression caused by her traumatic imprisonment.

She sadly took her own life on Sunday, leaving behind a note handwritten in Arabic asking her loved ones to forgive her.

In Her Final Words…

“To my siblings – I tried to find redemption and failed, forgive me,” she wrote. “To my friends – the experience [journey] was harsh and I am too weak to resist it, forgive me.

“To the world – you were cruel to a great extent, but I forgive.”
