This image raises awareness about unprecedented censorship and attacks on freedom of expression under the regime of El-Sisi. Of note, the government used new anti-terrorism laws to prosecute those expressing any sort of dissent.
Ganzeer became one of the most well-known graffiti artists following the 2011 revolution. He was particularly known for his anti-SCAF images. In May 2014, he was forced to flee Egypt to the US.
