- Pale Cinder: surprised it's not the usual 'egyptian drama' spin on vg.no today, was expecting a really different tone
- Kian: why the death sentence in an Egyptian court and not life imprisonment?
- Jonass: i'm genuinely surprised they're using the death penalty in cases involving TV work - isn't there a different law for that somehow?

- Nina: how many times has the Egyptian government shown this level of hypocrisy now?
- Yara: the death sentence feels like an echo from a darker era

- Felixdoyle: surprised that Sarah Khalifa is singled out while others are let off
- Silent Rune: why death sentences for 'drug possession' still happen, honestly, baffles me
- Avasato: this is just another example of trumped up charges in a questionable legal system
- Silent Sparrow: I'm honestly surprised she got sentenced to death, that's a pretty severe punishment for a TV host
- Cipher Wolf: that's heartbreaking, don't understand why the Egyptian gov is cracking down this hard
