Lebanese activist Malak Alaywe Herz became an icon after kicking a bodyguard of a Lebanese minister in the groin when protests broke out on 17 October after the government announced controversial new tax measures on WhatsApp and other messaging apps. Hailed for her “bravery”, Malak Alawiye will face trial later this year but her spirit has been embodied by thousands of Lebanese who want to see the country's corruption end. She got married during a protest. (Twitter)
