UN Watch today called on the jury of the Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders, comprised of Amnesty, Human Rights Watch and eight other NGOs, and chaired by Hans Thoolen, to cancel its nomination of Mona Seif, an Egyptian activist who openly advocates terrorism and war crimes, as a top contender for the 2013 prize. Below are her tweets for hatred. (A longer list of her tweets advocating violence against civilians, terrorism and war crimes are on Storify here.).
Mona Seif cheered the violent mob that sacked the Israeli Embassy:
They are out finally! The last group of #israelembassy protesters 🙂 Mabrooooooook
