Egypt’s authorities banned a prominent activist of the 2011 uprising, Asma Mahfouz, from leaving the country late Tuesday while on her way to Bangkok, a Cairo airport official said.
Mahfouz, a well-known youth leader, was a leading figure of the uprising that toppled former president Hosni Mubarak in early 2011.
She was stopped at Cairo airport by immigration officials following a request from the prosecutor general’s office, an airport official said, adding that her name was on a list of people barred from leaving the country.
