'Don't think you can be safe any more,' Mahfouz said in her video, which was posted on Facebook January 18. 'None of us are. Come down with us and demand your rights, my rights, your family's rights. I am going down on January 25th, and will say 'No to corruption. No to this regime.''

The 25-year-old woman is a member of the April 6 Youth Movement, which has been using the Internet to organize protests against Egypt's authoritarian government since 2008."
