As a founder of the activist group April 6 Youth Movement, Maher led the charge against Muhamed Morsi. Now, though, he does not like the path that the military-installed government is taking. "The expanding role of the military in the political process that we are nonetheless witnessing is disconcerting." Eric Trager, fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy tweets that Maher, "who was detained for his activism under Morsi, rightly calls for restraint in dealing w/the [Muslim Brotherhood] now." Activist Sherif Mansour of the Committee to Protect Journalists tweets "Among #Egyptian liberals, a conscience."
