It was November 2006 when I first got to know Esra’a Al’shafei and her work at the Mideast Youth, through our mutual friend Tori Egherman. Since then, my respect for this young Bahraini lady has always been on the rise. She seems to have expanded her days to 48 hours, to be able to do all the great things she does.
Read this interview with her at Global Voices Online to know more about her: Esra’a Al Shafei – Your One-Stop-Cyber-Activist. Also, read the most recent recognition of her work in the WireTap Magazine: Mideast Digtial Détente. You can also listen to my interview with Esra’a posted here on August: An Interview with a “Zionist†“Neo-Con†Muslim Blogger (The audio file can be found down here as well).
The next step? Mideast Youth lunches its TV station at MEY TV, Filming Ahead. Below is their version of an Egyptian Tourism Ad, in which they raise the issue of Bahai’is in Egypt.
Thanks for this interview Kamangir. I am one of the many, I suppose, who had many questions for and about Esra’a and her work.
