Shaimaa Lotfi, born and raised in Cairo, loves Miley Cyrus and Justin Beiber, speaks near-perfect English, and hopes to one day move to the United States to work. Since February 2011, the soft-spoken teen and her mother, Nadia Lotfi (image 8), have found themselves drawn into the Egyptian political and human rights scene; Shaimaa's uncle, like Jehad Adel's father, was shot dead while in prison during the opening days of the revolution. Pieces of the campaign for her uncle can be seen scattered throughout her room, with pictures of her deceased uncle in frames and scanned onto the sides of mugs on her bedside table.
