After Saudi Arabia, Egypt restricts sale of Fatema Mernissi's book on feminism

The management of the Cairo International Book Fair has prohibited the sale and distribution of the Arabic translation of «The Political Harem - the Prophet and the Women» by Moroccan sociologist Fatema Mernissi. This decision, announced on Wednesday, drew criticism from Editions Le Fennec, the publisher of the book, who noted a similar ban in Saudi Arabia.
