Heba Morayef

As actor

Heba Morayef is the Cairo-based researcher for Human Rights Watch, covering Egypt. In the middle of the demonstrations and violence during the Tahrir protests, Morayef visited hospitals and morgues to document the civilian death toll from government attacks and sniper fire. This casualty figure became the indispensable count for global media as President Hosni Mubarak teetered in power.
