Activist 'Alā' 'Abd al-Fattāh said that assaults on women will have a strong reaction on January 25, 2012, adding "we will take revenge for women." "The accused in the Maspero incidents are quite sure about their innocence. Demonstrations and sit-ins are just part of the reactions to the practices against the protesters," said 'Abd al-Fattāh, who is one of the persons facing charges of involvement in the October 9 Maspero incidents that left scores killed or wounded, in a symposium hosted by the Syndicate of Journalists' Freedoms Committee. 

Priest Philopater Jamīl of the Virgin Mary Church in Faysal district, one of the persons accused of involvement in the Maspero incidents but was released later, said that he will lodge a complaint to detect the persons who ignited the incidents.
