The BBC has picked up on the arrest of FGM doctor Raslan Fadl, who was sentenced in January 2015 over the death of 13-year-old Souheir Al Bataa. Fadl, who surrendered after pressure from domestic and international campaigners, had avoided serving a two-year sentence by reaching an agreement with the girl’s family and has continued practising intermittently after the conviction, according to campaign groups Equality Now and the Center for Egyptian Women’s Legal Assistance.

…Earlier this month, BBC ran an episode of The Inquiry titled “Why can’t Egypt stop FGM?” which reaches the grim conclusion “perhaps the simplest answer [to why Egypt can’t stop FGM] is … because not enough Egyptians want to.” (Run time 22:59)
