Salam al Maseeh

The first Palestinian above all others is Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Let be accursed any gospel other than that which was preached at the beginning, received not from man but from Christ Jesus, thou alone, in whom we have redemption through thy all holy infinitely pure and undefiled blood, the remission of our sins, who in the future shall recreate the heavens and the earth, called by thine special choice, who before hoped in Christ with all who heard the word of truth and believed, sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise, who is the pledge of our inheritance, to the redemption of the possession, for the praise of his glory, in faith in the Lord Jesus, and of love for all the saints in unceasing intercession of all the elect angels and saints of God, virgins, with all thanksgiving, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in deep knowledge of him; the eyes of our minds being enlightened, to know the hope of his calling, the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and the exceeding greatness of his power towards us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power wrought in Christ the only first born from the dead in the flesh raised above all things he made subject under his feet, we who hold him the head directly and no other, Christ Jesus our only Lord and Saviour immortal son of the immortal Father in the unity and power and bond of love of the immortal Holy Spirit our Paraclete unto the ages of the ages. Amen.

The Final Trial: Jesus Christ begotten of the Father - not made

A prayer of Isaias the Prophet.

Is. 26: 9-21

(Isaias' prophecy, which is also his prayer.)

O Lord our God, grant us peace. Out of the night my spirit waketh at dawn unto Thee, O God; for Thy commandments are a light upon the earth. Learn righteousness, all ye that dwell upon the earth. For the ungodly man hath come to an end; every one that learneth not righteousness upon the earth shall not be able to do truth; let the ungodly be taken away, that he may not see the glory of the Lord. O Lord, Thine arm is lifted up, and they knew it not; but when they know it, let them be put to shame. Zeal shall lay hold upon an untaught people, and now fire shall devour the adversaries. O Lord our God, bestow Thy peace upon us, for Thou hast given all things unto us. O Lord our God, take us for Thy possession. O Lord, we know no other beside Thee; we call upon Thy name. But the dead shall not see life, neither shall physicians raise them up; therefore hast Thou brought wrath upon them, and hast slain them, and hast taken every man of them away. Bring more evils upon them, Lord; bring more evils upon them that are glorious upon the earth. O Lord, in trouble we remembered Thee; with small affliction was Thy chastening with us. And as a woman in travail draweth nigh to be delivered, and crieth out in her travail, so have we become in the presence of Thy beloved. We have conceived, O Lord, because of Thy fear, and have suffered pangs, and have brought forth the spirit of Thy salvation, which we have wrought upon the earth. We shall not fail, but all those that dwell upon the earth shall fail. The dead shall arise, and they that are in the tomb shall awake, and they that are upon the earth shall rejoice. For the dew which Thou sendest is healing unto them; but the land of the ungodly shall perish. Go, my people, enter into thine inner chamber, shut thy door, hide thyself for a little season [during the Great Tribulation, hidden in mountains and dens and caves of the earth - there is NO secret rapture which is only an heretical apostate Lurianic Talmudic Judaic doctrine], until the anger of the Lord shall pass away.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

And see: The Abomination of Desolation

Note in the below that this is a description of the evil that precedes the Antichrist who is the Abomination of Desolation. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ then comes after the reign of Antichrist has proceeded for a while. Antichrist, his reign and the False Prophet and all their followers are then destroyed by the Second Coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ from heaven with all His elect Angels and sent to hell forever. The saints will then reign with Our Lord Jesus Christ at their head on earth forever.

Palestine, which is properly the Holy Land for in it walked God in the flesh, Jesus Christ, and there He allowed Himself to be sacrificed for the salvation of those who profess Him from the heart and with the mouth, is a miniature of all the evil that has come upon the earth and there will the final evil be concentrated in its fullness and rule from there for a short time.

From: The Abomination of Desolation

Writing in the second century, St. Hippolytus wrote the following about the evil that will abound before the coming of Antichrist:

The temples of God will be like houses, and there will be overturnings of the churches everywhere. The Scriptures will be despised, and everywhere they will sing the songs of the adversary. Fornications, and adulteries, and perjuries will fill the land; sorceries, and incantations, and divinations will follow after these with all force and zeal. And, on the whole, from among those who profess to be Christians will rise up then false prophets, false apostles, impostors, mischief-makers, evil-doers, liars against each other, adulterers, fornicators, robbers, grasping, perjured, mendacious, hating each other. The shepherds will be like wolves; the priests will embrace falsehood; the monks will lust after the things of the world; the rich will assume hardness of heart; the rulers will not help the poor; the powerful will cast off all pity; the judges will remove justice from the just, and, blinded with bribes, they will call in unrighteousness.

MATTHEW 28

CHAPTER XXVIII.

The resurrection of Christ. His commission to his disciples.

1 And *in the end of the sabbath, when it began to dawn towards the first day of the week,

18 And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.

19 *Going, therefore, teach ye all nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit;

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.

"Consummation of the world," - the end of this age of grace and the beginning of the eternal ages with Christ reigning visibly. This is the end of the eschaton and the beginning of the eternal recreated heavens and the earth and will begin when Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ returns from heaven in the same flesh He rose with and ascended into the third heaven with, seated at the right hand of the Father. His return will be with all of His elect angels. He will raise and judge all men in the flesh and then recreate the heavens and the earth, which in that state will last that way for eternity. There will NOT be any sin in the new heavens and earth, so prepare now by confessing the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and be baptized as commanded above and shown how to baptize below and live Holy and Godly lives in sincerity and humility and meekness waiting for the Lord when He returns so that we are not like the five foolish virgins but are like the five wise virgins.

Method of Baptism

From the Didache (49 A.D. Council of Jerusalem):

Chapter 7. Concerning Baptism.

And concerning baptism, baptize this way: Having first said all these things, baptize the one to be baptized into Jesus Christ in "the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit," in running water. But if you have no running water, baptize into other water [still water]; and if you cannot do so in cold water, do so in warm. But if you have neither, pour out water three times upon the head onto the one to be baptized saying at that time "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." But before the baptism, if possible, let the baptizer fast, and the baptized, and whoever else can; but you shall order the baptized [when there is time] to fast one or two days before.

Baptism can and should always be performed immediately when there is danger of death of the one to be baptized. For instance, impending martyrdom or possible death causing illness.

Israel is the Nation of the Antichrist = Dajjal: Totally reject Dajjal and instead Come to Christ and receive the water of life

The Muhammad of the Almighty Triune God of The Final Trial would not stand in the way of Muslims coming to Our Lord Jesus Christ and being baptized in Him as the Injeel commands. The Mohammed of Ahmadiyya is the same as the Mohammot of al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah and both are antichrists and contradict the clear commands of God in the Injeel and Taurat and Quran.

Noble Quran

003.045 Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! God giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (held in honor by the company of the prophets and saints) those nearest to God;

003.046 "He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (adhered to by the company) of the righteous."

003.047 She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: God createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is!

003.048 "And God will teach him [Jesus Christ] the Book [alkitaba = all sacred writing from God Most High] and Wisdom [hikma = sophia = uncreated wisdom of God one with His Holy Spirit], the Law [Taurat fulfilled in the Gospel of Jesus Christ] and the Gospel [of Jesus Christ],"

As the Word of God Jesus Christ willed to learn in His Incarnation what He already possessed and knew prior to His Incarnation as part of His kenosis (emptying out of Himself and taking upon Himself our nature while in no way losing anything of what He already was as God by nature and Son of God as the Second Person of the undivided Trinity) and as an example to us of how we in humility must follow God the Father and the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

See this for why Jesus Christ must be confessed as the Holy Word and Son of God: The Final Trial: Mary - revered by both Christians and Muslims as the vessel through whom God made the Word, Jesus Christ, Incarnate

The Muslim feast of Eid only commemorates the typological sacrifice by Abraham of Issac. That prefigured the final and only Supreme Sacrifice of Jesus Christ on His Most Holy Cross. It is only by the Sacrifice of Christ on His Cross that we are saved. Jesus Christ commanded, not suggested, that we be baptized; echoing the rest of the Church Fathers, St. Augustine noted that if someone could not be baptized even though they wanted it and did everything they could to be baptized in the water in name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, then their confession of faith is enough for their salvation. But no where are we allowed to refuse baptism.

All Muslims and everyone who will, are invited and encouraged to come to the water of life now and be baptized in the water and in the Spirit in name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and receive Communion.

For Noah and Abraham as Prophecies of Baptism in Our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ see:

Traditional Catholic Prayers: THE TWELVE PROPHECIES - The Second Prophesy: Genesis 5: 32; 6; 7: 6: 11-14, 18-21, 23-24; 8: 1-3, 6-12, 15-21

Traditional Catholic Prayers: THE TWELVE PROPHECIES - The Third Prophesy: Genesis 22: 1-19

There is no evolution, to be baptized in Our Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ one must believe in the truth of literal Creation by God and no pantheistic syncretism with deistic design and the rest of pagan evolutionary theory.

Traditional Catholic Prayers: THE TWELVE PROPHECIES - The First Prophesy: Genesis 1: 1-31; 2: 1-2

And see the rest of the Baptismal Prophecies. They are a must.

For all Jews wishing to convert sincerely from the heart to Jesus Christ now, here is a prayer based on the biblical Hebrew of the prophets of the Old Testament and the Septuagint Greek of the Old Testament and the New Testament and Arabic.

(The Arabic, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, means the same as God Almighty, or 'O Theos 'O Pantocrator, in Septuagint Greek.)

In the below “Dam (Blood) Kadosh (Holy) bet Yeshua ha Maschiach (Jesus Christ) kanawn anawim (have mercy on Your faithful [those who turn to God by the shed Blood of Christ on Calvary])” is asking for God's forgiveness by the shed Holy Blood of Christ – which is the only forgiveness there is from God for sin.

Go here: Jews called in Christ: Begun in 2002, judged illegal 2004, Israel’s apartheid wall goes on regardless | Jews for Justice for Palestinians

And then be baptized in Christ - see above: Baptism.

Egyptian Security Forces Invent Bogus Terrorist Cells to Serve Their Political Agenda

eagyptArab Organisation for Human Rightsin UK (AOHR UK) received a number of complaints from the families of students forcefully disappeared by security forces. Shortly after their disappearance, their families were shocked to see them on state-owned and pro-coup television channels confessing to crimes that could carry the death sentence. The families later learned, through their lawyers, that the detainees had been brutally tortured to extract these confessions.
Abdulrahman, whose brother  24-year old university student Ibrahim Yihia Abdulfatah Aazab is one of the detainees who appeared on television, said that  Ibrahim had received a phone call from his friend Abdullah Muhsin Al-Amiri on the 6th of March 2014 requesting that Ibrahim come over to a property in Mansoura and bring with him a certain medication. Abdullah explained it was for a sick child. Ibrahim headed to the property and disappeared. The family later found out that Abdullah was arrested on the 5th of March 2014 and, thus,  was unable to provide them with any information about Ibrahim’s whereabouts until he made a sudden appearance on television on the 8th of March 2014. In the video, Abdullah, Ibrahim and several others ‘confessed’ to being among the protesters at Rabaa Al-Adawiya Square,  to protecting Muslim Brotherhood demonstrations, of being in possession of firearms for the purpose of using them against security forces, thugs and for assassinating police officers, and of planting bombs in residential areas.
Ibrahim’s family retained a lawyer to look for him. The lawyer was able to find out that Ibrahim had been abducted by security forces the moment he arrived at the rendezvous point . Ibrahim told the lawyer that he was initially taken to the Mansoura Second Precinct and then to Mansoura security directorate where he was tortured, electrocuted and burnt with cigarettes. Ibrahim confessed to crimes he did not commit to save himself from further torture. Once the film had been made, he was transferred to Al-Aqrab prison in Cairo. The media picked on the film and began circulating it as evidence of the crimes of Mansoura Terrorist Cell.

The families of the detainees Ahmed Mohsen Al-Amiri, 30, Abdullah Mohsen Al-Amiri, 27, Mohammed Mohsen Al-Amiri, 23 and his brother-in-law Mohammed Mohammed Idris, 19, told AOHR UK that security forces from Mansoura Second Precinct raided the building where the family resides on 5 March 2014 at 9 pm. They headed to Abdullah’s apartment on the second floor and arrested him along with his mother before heading to the fourth floor where Mohammed Mohsen lives and arrested him along with his brother-in-law who was visiting. All four were taken to the Mansoura Second Precinct. When Mr. Mohsen Al-Amiri  learned of the arrests, he headed to the precinct with his eldest son Ahmed. The police arrested them as well. Both parents were released the following day. The rest of the family was taken to Mansoura Security Directorate and tortured to force them to confess to being members in the Muslim Brotherhood movement and to committing terrorist acts.
The father of Mohammed Mohammed Hafez Ali, 30, said in a statement to AOHR UK that he received a phone call at 7pm on the 5th of March 2014 from one of his son’s friends to inform him that Mohammed had been arrested and taken to Mansoura First Precinct. The police station denied any knowledge of his whereabouts. It was only when he saw his son on television confessing to crimes that he was finally able to find him. A lawyer succeeded in meeting with Mohammed on the 8th of March and he told him that he was taken to Mansoura police station where he was tortured and electrocuted to force him to record false confessions dictated by police officers. The prosecutor-general ordered he be remanded in custody for 15 days. And despite the prosecutor-general’s claims that Mohammed was being held at Al-Aqrab his father has not been able to verify that since the prison administration has not allowed him to visit his son nor see his lawyer except at the court.
In a testimony to AOHR UK, the father of the political detainee Mahmoud Mamdouh Wahbeh Abu-Zeid, 21, a student at the Faculty of engineering, revealed that he had received a phone call on the evening of Thursday the 6th of March 2014 from Mansoura Second Precinct informing him that his son had been arrested. Upon arrival at the police station, colonel Faiq Al-Zaki assured him that his son was arrested as a precautionary measure and was not being charged with anything. They refused to allow him to see his son. The following day Mahmoud’s father learnt that he had been taken to Al-Mustakbal prison in Al-Ismalilia so he headed there but could not find him.
The father returned to Mansoura Second Precinct and they gave him the name of another prison. Once again Mahmoud was not being held there. On the 12th of March 2014, a video was shown on Egyptian channels of Mahmoud and two other detainees (Ahmed Al-Waleed and Khalid Askar) confessing to the possession of firearms and the pre-medicated murder of a police officer. Mahmoud’s left cheek was swollen, an injury that this father, a dentist, attributed to blunt trauma with a sharp instrument to the lower part of the jaw. Mahmoud’s father concluded that his son had been tortured to extract these confessions. The video was the last time his father had seen him and he has no knowledge of his whereabouts. The only information the family was able to obtain is that Mahmoud would appear before the prosecutor-general on Saturday the 15th of March 2014 but he was not brought in on that day. According to the lawyer, only Ahmed Al-Waleed appeared before the prosecutor-general on Thursday the 13th of March 2014.
The lawyer confirmed that Ahmed, Khalid and Mahmoud had been tortured to force them to agree to film those confessions. The video has been circulated by the media under the title of Mansoura Terrorist cell.
The family of the detainee Abdulrahman Bayoomi, a pharmacology student at Mansoura University, revealed that Abdulrahman was on his way to perform Umra on the 6th of  February 2014 when he was detained and arrested at Cairo airport. Abdulrahman was escorted to the Homeland office at the airport and then taken to Madinat Nasr police station where all contact with him was lost. The police station refused to release any information to his family and threatened them with arrest if they insisted on enquiring about their son. On the 18th of February 2014, his family received a phone call from someone telling them that Abdulrahman was being held at Al-Aqrab prison and was due to appear before the Higher Prosecutor-General on the 20 of February.  The family were not allowed to see him that day so they went to Al-Aqrab prison the following day and managed to see him from behind a glass partition. His family learned that he was kept at Nasr City state security headquarters for three days and tortured and electrocuted before being forced to sign a statement (no. 457 for the year 2014)  while he was blindfolded.  He was charged with belonging to the Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood movements and of carrying out terrorist operations in Egypt. This was the same case in which Amer Sa’d, who appeared on television on the7th of December 2013, was charged. Amer ‘confessed’ on television to the crimes of murder and attempted murder.
Arab Organisation for Human Rights in UK (AOHR UK) confirms that Mansoura security directorate has deliberately fabricated bogus charges against those mentioned above and then imprisoned them without revealing their whereabouts in order to torture and force them to make public confessions that could be used against them in a court of law. Some of those crimes they were forced to confess carry the death sentence. The confessions were filmed and broadcast on state-owned and pro-government channels in order to tarnish the image and reputation of those opposed to the Egyptian government.
AOHR UK stresses that the actions of the security forces in Mansoura amount to systematic forced disappearance, illegal detention, torture,  forgery of legal documents and slander. Forced disappearance and torture constitute a glaring violation of international laws which guarantee one’s right to life, liberty and security and protection from torture and other forms of inhuman and degrading treatment.
AOHR UK also stresses that filming detainees in this humiliating manner and extracting false confessions under torture are illegal and immoral acts. Broadcasting confessions is tantamount to convicting them beforehand without recourse to due process and the rule of the law. It is also a clear attempt to turn public opinion against those detainees. It is evident that all legal and ethical value systems have collapsed in Egypt.
AOHR UK the UN secretary-general to form a fully-authorised fact-finding mission to investigate the crimes committed after the 3rd of July and hold all perpetrators accountable especially in view of the total disregard for human rights displayed by Egyptian authorities.

Egypt Claims Miracle Cure For HIV and Hepatitis

Eagypt discoveryThe Commetator– Ahmed Abdel-Raheem – Almost certainly a political miracle rather than a medical one, Egypt’s claim to have an instant cure for HIV and Hepatitis shows the lengths the coup leaders will go for legitimacy
Two days ago, Egyptian media began big campaigns about a miraculous device (billed as ”Complete Cure”) invented by Egypt’s armed forces for treating HIV/AIDS and the Hepatitis C virus.
The news stories depicted the machine as a breakthrough, and a real miracle for completely curing patients of any of the two resistant diseases, giving hope for 18 million Egyptians with Hepatitis C and tens of thousands with HIV. (All this in no time at all, only 16 hours for the cure and one minute for detecting the disease.)
new democracyAccording to the Egyptian media, with the device there is no need to take a sample of the patient’s blood to detect the infection. Moreover, Egypt’s national TV channels ran a video that showed a physician making tests for an HIV patient using the device and telling him, “your tests are so great; you had HIV but now the disease vanished.”
The reports said that ”Complete Cure” is two machines in one: ”C Fast” (for treating Hepatitis C) and “I Fast” (for treating HIV). Furthermore, the reports confirmed that the military had been working for 22 years on the project and although ”C Fast” had been ready to go since 2006, the inventing team preferred to wait until it could test the effectiveness of the machine on HIV patients.
There’s even more. Major Dr. Ibrahim Abdel-Atti, leader of the machine-inventing team, stressed that Egypt will not export the machine to other countries so that it can be protected from international monopoly and the black market. He was quoted in the Al-Ahram newspaper as saying, “Marshal el-Sisi once said, ”we lagged behind and we should jump rather than walk so that we can compete with others”, and this is the first jump.”

The strange thing is, the media stresses that the device can also treat swine flu or H1N1, a disease that has taken many Egyptian lives over the past few weeks.
The media message is, of course, clear: We can depend only on Egypt’s armed forces; they’re the hope; they’re the people who can meet all our needs; they’re the men of impossible missions; they’re the best to lead Egypt in the coming years; they’re the best in the world; they’re big scholars and hard workers; they spare no effort to develop Egypt and improve the lives of its people.
They worked for 22 years for a machine that can make Egyptians happy. In short, the leader of Egypt must be a military man (in particular, Marshal Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi).
This kind of propaganda reminds us of old campaigns about the military’s invention of two inter-continental missiles: Zafer and Qaher, during Abdel-Nasser’s and Saddat’s era.
The two rockets were said to be able to reach to the depths of Israel. During that time, the media depicted this as if it was a nuclear bomb that could deter any threats to Egypt.
However, General Saad Ed-Dien el-Shazli mentioned in his diaries later that this was just propaganda and the two missiles were in fact ineffective and had no destructive power. El-Shazli stressed that he was shocked every time the media told lies about the two missiles and every time Saddat threatened America and Israel with using them.
In the current period, ordinary Egyptians are building mountainous hopes on such new devices and think that, with them, they can find light at the end of the tunnel.
The large majority of comments in the news describe the machine as a blessing and a gift from God, and many happy people have wondered aloud in the media about when the machine will be available in the hospitals. Many have been seen expressing their gratitude for the military and Marshal el-Sisi.
The coup leaders have ambitious aims. Will the game work?

سخرت مجلة (كومينتاتور) الأمريكية من الجهاز المعجزة الذى كشف عنه المجلس الأعلى للقوات المسلحة المصرية لعلاج أخطر أمراض العالم الإيدز وفيروس “سي” للكبد الوبائى
وقالت المجلة: إن هذا الجهاز يعُد معجزة “سياسية” أكثر منها طبية. وصعدّت وسائل الإعلام المصرية حملتها لدعم هذا جهاز “كومبليت كيور” والترويج له بأنه المعجزة الحقيقية التى ستمكن أكثر من 18 مليون مصريا من الشفاء الكامل من مرض فيروس C وعشرات الآلاف ممن يعانون من نقص المناعة الأيدز” خلال 16 ساعة فقط
ووفقا لوسائل الإعلام المصرية، فبهذا الجهاز لن يحتاج الطبيب المعالج لأخذ عينة من المريض للكشف عن العدوى، وعلاوة على ذلك، أذاعت القنوات الحكومية فيديو لطبيب يقوم ببعض الفحوصات لمريض باستخدام هذا الجهاز المعجزة ويقول: فحوصاتك جيدة جدا..كنت تعانى من الإيدز أما الآن فقد شفيُت من المرض نهائيا
وتفيد التقارير بأن هذا الجهاز يتكون من جزئين: الأول يدعى “سي فاست” لعلاج التهاب الكبد الوبائى الفيروسى, والثانى يسمى “ون فاست” لعلاج الإيدز، بالإضافة إلى ذلك، تؤكد التقارير أن الجيش يعمل على هذا الاختراع منذ 22 عاما، وانتهى من الجزء الأول بالفعل عام 2006، ولكن فضّل فريق العمل الانتظار حتى اختبار مدى فعالية الجهاز على مرضى الأيدز
والأكثر من ذلك، أن مخترع الجهاز، اللواء الدكتور “إبراهيم عبد العاطي”، أكد أن مصر لن تصدر الجهاز لأى دولة أخرى لحمايته من الاحتكار الدولى والسوق السوادء، ونقلت المجلة عنه قوله: “المشير السيسى قال إننا نتخلف كثيرا وعلينا القفز للأمام بدلا من السير ببطء ونعلن منافستنا للآخرين وهذا الجهاز هو القفزة الأولى للأمام
ولعل الغريب فى الأمر، تأكيد وإصرار الإعلام على أن هذا الجهاز يستطيع معالجة إنفلونزا الخنازير
ويبدو أن الرسالة التى يريد الإعلام توصيلها بوضوح هو أنه بإمكان الشعب المصرى الاعتماد كلية وفقط على القوات المسلحة، لأنهم الأمل وهم من يستطيعون تلبية جميع احتياجتنا وهم رجال المهام المستحيلة والأفضل لقيادة البلاد فى المستقبل بل والأفضل على مستوى العالم لما تمتلكه من علماء وخبرات من شأنها أن تساعد على ازدهار مصر وتحسين ظروف المعيشة لشعبها
ورأت المجلة أن هذا النوع من الدعاية يعُيد إلى أذهاننا الحملات الإعلانية للاختراع العسكرى الأكذوبة لصاروخى عابرى القارات “الظافر والقاهر” أثناء فترة حكمى الرئيسين الراحلين جمال عبد الناصر وأنور السادات
وقالت المجلة الأمريكية: قيل وقتها أن هذين الصاروخين قادران على الوصول إلى أعماق إسرائيل نفسها، وأثناء هذه الاوقات صوّره الإعلام كما لو كان قنبلة نووية تستطيع ردع أى تهديدات لمصر
وأضافت بقولها: وفيما بعد، أعلن الفريق “سعد الدين الشاذلي” فى مذكراته، أن صاروخى “الظافر والقاهر” كانوا وسيلة دعاية فقط ولم يكن فاعلين أو لديهم قدرة تدميرية عالية، وقد تم التأكيد على وسائل الإعلام وقتها على الترويج بكثافة لهذين الصاروخين الأكذوبة حتى يستخدمه “السادات” كتهديد لأمريكا وإسرائيل
أما الآن، فالوضع مختلف، لأن “الأكذوبة” يتم توصيلها للمصريين العاديين الذين يبنون آمالهم على هذا الجهاز المعجزة ويصفونه بالنعمة والهدية من الخالق وينتظرون تداوله فى المستشفيات بفارغ الصبر ويمكن أن يجدوا شعاع النور فى آخر هذا النفق المظلم

Forced Caesarean Birth for Handcuffed Girl in Egypt

مكبلة في السجون المصرية على شاكلة التكبيل في السجون الإسرائيلية
woman giving birthDahab Hamid Abed Allah, 18, was forced to give birth to a child via caesarean section while handcuffed and tied to a bed at the hospital of Al-Zayton in Egypt last Thursday February 13 2014. Such atrocities normally happen at the jails of the zionist israeli occupation, who are known to restrict the prisoners dying of cancer and in critical condition, to cuff their hands and tie them in bed even if they were dying, but this event took place in the Arab Republic of Egypt.
On Jan 14 2014, Dahab, a woman pregnant in her 8th month and about to give birth, went to the visit the gynaecologist. On her way, she coincidentally passed by a group of supporters of the deposed Mohamed Morsi, who were holding a sit-in protest at Al-Sahel street. The Egyptian police suddenly attacked the protesters; everyone was able to flee from the scene except Dahab, due to her advanced pregnancy.
The Egyptian police arrested Mrs. Dahab and charged her with participating in an illegal demo (the sit-in) and the Egyptian prosecutors issued a decision to imprison her for 15 days pending investigation of the charges. The prosecutors later renewed her imprisonment for a further 2 weeks.
Dahab received the pains of childbirth at prison; she was transferred to the Al-Zayton hospital last thursday night, where she was not able to give birth of her child normally because of the police. Her situation deteriorated and the doctors decided to make force a caesarean operation on her.
When Dahab woke up after the operation, she saw her hands were cuffed to bed but she did not see her child, which had been stolen from her by the police.
Dahab can not give milk to her child because she remains cuffed to the bed. She is neither a criminal nor a dangerous terrorist, but is a minor with bad luck. Her case is clearly an egregious abuse and a violation of her human rights, and crime perpetrated by the Egyptian police, which is obviously learning how to act dishonorably from the israelis.


استيقظت من الغيبوبة لتجد نفسها ممددة على سرير، ومقيدة
هذا ما آلت إليه أحوال، دهب حامد عبدالله، التى ألقى بها حظها العثر فى طريق إحدى احتجاجات أنصار الرئيس المعزول محمد مرسى، منذ ما يقرب من شهر، لتجد نفسها متهمة بالتظاهر من دون تصريح ويجدد حبسها بقسم الساحل
تعود القصة إلى الرابع عشر من يناير الماضي، بحسب رواية زوجها أشرف سيد، عندما خرجت دهب من منزلها فى طريقها إلى طبيب النساء الذى تتابع معه حالتها حيث كانت حاملا فى بداية شهرها التاسع، وكانت هناك وقفة احتجاجية لأنصار الرئيس المعزول، بشارع الساحل فى أول أيام الاستفتاء على دستور 2014، فوجئت بعدها بقوات الأمن تهاجم الوقفة وتقوم بفضها
 همّ جميع المارة فى الشارع بالفرار، والبحث عن ملاذ آمن من الاشتباكات، إلا أن دهب لم تتمكن من الجرى نظرا لطبيعة حالتها الصحية، فقام أفراد الأمن بالقبض عليها. وتم اقتيادها إلى قسم شرطة الساحل، لتحتجز فى ظروف لا تتناسب مع حالة حامل فى شهرها التاسع
وتابع زوجها: بعد يومين من بقاء دهب فى قسم الشرطة تم تحرير محضر لها بتهمة التظاهر بدون تصريح، وتم عرضها على النيابة التى أصدرت قرارا بحبسها 15 يوما على ذمة التحقيق، متابعا: لتجدد لها النيابة الحبس 15 يوما ثلاث مرات كان آخرها يوم الخميس الماضى 13 فبراير
 وخلال وجود دهب بالحجز داهمتها آلام الولادة، ليتم نقلها إلى مستشفى الزيتون التخصصى مساء الخميس الماضى، ونظرا لصعوبة الحالة وتردى وضعها الصحى قرر الأطباء، أن تكون الولاد قيصرية وحقنها الأطباء بـ«البنج»، لتخرج من عمليتها مقيدة بسريرها وممنوعة من احتضان وليدتها حرية
وردا على الواقعة قال مصدر أمنى بوزارة الداخلية إن المتهمة تحت تصرف النيابة العامة حاليا، وتم نقلها إلى المستشفى فى حراسة الشرطة، وأجرت عمليه الولادة دون أن يكون فى يدها القيد الحديدى، لكن بعد خروجها من غرفه العناية تم وضع الكلبشات، لاحتياطات أمنية فقط خصوصا أنها سيدة ولا يمكن أن يكون الحارس مطلعا على اسرارها الطبيه الخاصة بها والأمور النسائية واضطر الحارس إلى تقييدها خوفا من هربها
 وأشار المصدر الأمنى إلى أن هناك حالات كثيرة ممن دخلن غرف الولادة هربن من الحرس ووفقا للقانون فالحارس هو المسئول عن المتهم وفى حالة هرب المتهم يتم محاكمته وحبسه فى أغلب الأحيان لإهماله. وقال مصدر من النيابة العامة إن المتهم يتم وضعه فى الحجز أو المستشفى ويتم تعيين حارس عليه خارج الغرفة بعد تأمين جميع نوافذ الغرفة وأن مهمة الحارس هو تأمين الغرفة فى المستشفى ومنع هروب المتهم، ولكن وضع قيد حديدى عليه وهو داخل الغرفة يعد اعتداء عليه. الشروقوطن

Egypt As A Role Model: An Opportunity Lost

open democracy-1Open Democracy – Rawia M Tawfik Amer, a lecturer at the faculty of Economics and Political science, Cairo University. She holds the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Oxford. She writes on issues of African political economy.
The January 25th uprising offered Egypt the opportunity to become a role model for peaceful transition in the region and beyond. But with the hijack of the will of the people almost completed, Egypt is moving further away from realising democracy.
The 25th of January 2011 revolution was not only about promoting the freedom and dignity of Egyptians at home, but also restoring the pre-eminence of Egypt regionally and internationally. Protestors who took to the streets for eighteen days were expressing their grievances against Mubarak’s domestic policies, and disappointment at their country’s declining role in regional politics. On the third anniversary of the revolution, Egypt seems to have lost its way towards democracy, and the opportunity to present a model of peaceful transition in the Arab world and Africa.  
The uprising promised to usher in a new phase in Egypt’s contribution to the struggle for democracy and socio-economic rights in the region and beyond. Leading Arab and African intellectuals and activists, including Khair El-Din Haseeb, Azmi Bishara, Larbi Sadiki, Mahmoud Mamdani, Horace Campbell, to mention a few, celebrated the revolution emphasizing the symbolism of Tahrir Square as a space that brought together Egyptians from different religious, political and social backgrounds to defend a common cause. In her keynote speech at the 4th European Conference on African Studies in Uppsala in June 2011, the noted African scholar Oyeronke Oyewumi criticised the media and academic labeling of the revolution as an ‘Arab spring’ insisting that it was also an ‘African spring’.
The mass demonstrations in Egypt triggered an ‘African Awakening’ that manifested itself in subsequent unnoticed protests in other African countries. In Cameroon opposition figures led demonstrations to contest Paul Biya’s life-time presidency a few days after the toppling of Mubarak. More than a year later, on the 30th anniversary of Biya’s rise to power, another wave of protests emerged, though on a more limited scale. Further north in West Africa, young activists in the Mauritanian opposition parties formed a coalition that organized protests to force the government of Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz to introduce political and social reforms. The demands raised by the coalition included restructuring civil-military relations, reforming the electoral law, and introducing measures to combat corruption and nepotism. In Sudan, in spite of police crackdown against political activists, the new youth movements moved from pressuring for social justice to mobilizing for toppling the ruling National Congress Party.  In South African townships participants in service delivery protests referred to the site of their protest as Tahrir Square.
These examples, among many others, indicate that Egypt became a role model for nations seeking peaceful political and social change. In this sense, the revolution promised to help Egypt restore its regional role as an exemplar; a role that it had lost since the 1970s. For almost four decades, Egypt’s subsequent economic crises, coupled with mismanagement and bad governance, left it in an unfavourable position compared to oil exporting countries of the Gulf. Its role in conflict resolution had increasingly been challenged by other regional actors (Qaddafi’s Libya in the African continent and Saudi Arabia and Qatar in the Middle East). It was only through attempting to revive its soft power that Egypt could have stood a chance to improve its image. The January 25th revolution provided such a chance.
But where does Egypt stand three years after the revolution? To the frustration of revolutionaries who waited so long for change, democratic transformation was aborted by conservative forces at home and in the region. Young activists who inspired the world with their peaceful uprising are now targeted by the police and defamed in the media. Instead of promoting freedom and dignity, Egypt, especially after the 3rd of July 2103, is steadily moving along a ‘Roadmap to Repression’, to borrow the title of a recent report by Amnesty International.
At the same time, with an economy struggling under conditions of political instability, Egypt has become more reliant on loans and grants from Arab Gulf countries. The flow of cash from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, estimated around $17 billion in the last 6 months, has provided a temporary relief to the military-backed government. It has also meant that these countries have successfully contained the Egyptian revolution and sustained Cairo’s dependence on Gulf money.  
As far as Africa is concerned, the post-Morsi transitional government has been struggling to resume Egypt’s participation in the activities of the African Union which suspended Egypt two days after the 3rd of July military coup. According to the Union’s principles, the overthrow of a democratically elected president is an ‘unconstitutional change of government’ that entails the suspension of the country until constitutional order is restored. For the first time in fifty years, Egypt, one of the founders of the Organisation of African Unity and the AU, was not allowed to take part in the annual continental summit that took place in the last week of January. Moreover, the transitional government was not invited to attend the first African- American Summit that takes place in Washington in August this year. Egypt’s confrontation with the AU may get further complicated with the expected running of Field Marshall Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, the Minister of Defense, and the key figure in the 3rd of July coup, for presidency. According to the African Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance, ‘the perpetrators of unconstitutional change of government shall not be allowed to participate in elections held to restore the democratic order or hold any position of responsibility in political institutions of their State’. Even if the new government manages to influence African governments to reverse Egypt’s suspension, it would do so in breach of the organisation’s principles. Thus, instead of presenting an exemplar in respecting AU’s principles and developing Africa’s international relations, Egypt is losing opportunities and tools for relating to the continent and representing it in multilateral fora.   
Interestingly, it is not only African governments that are having a problem understanding and accepting what happened on the 3rd of July and its aftermath, but also some African scholars and civil society organisations. South African trade unions that supported the move of the Egyptian masses on the 25th of January 2011 wondered how the same masses now celebrate the erosion of democracy and welcome the domination of militocracy on Egyptian politics. The Nigerian scholar Adekeye Adebajo described the coup as the ‘worst form of mob rule’. A few days after the coup, Horace Campbell rightly anticipated that the military and its allies would be ready to use ‘the excuse of violence and security to hijack the will of the people’.  
With this hijack almost completed, Egypt moves further away from realising democracy and, subsequently, loses an opportunity to be the model in regional politics.

أوبن ديمكراسي: مصر تسير على خارطة الطريق إلى القمع
rawya-tawfeqوطن – نشرت راوية محمد توفيق عامر المحاضرة في كلية الإقتصاد والعلوم السياسية في جامعة القاهرة  جامعة القاهرة تقريرا لها يوم أمس (على الرابط التالي) في مجلة “أوبن ديمكراسي” البريطانية جاء في ملخصه إن ثورة 25 يناير منحت مصر الفرصة لتصبح نموذجا يحتذى به في التحول السلمي في المنطقة وخارجها إلا أن عملية اختطاف الإرادة الشعبية قد اكتملت تقريبًا وباتت مصر تتحرك بعيدًا عن الديمقراطية
وتابعت المحاضرة تقول: أن ثورة يناير لم تعزز من حرية وكرامة المصريين في الداخل فقط، بل ساعدت أيضًا في استعادة هيمنة البلاد على المستوى الإقليمي والدولي، لكن مع الذكرى الثالثة للثورة يبدو أن البلاد قد فقدت طريقها نحو الديمقراطية والانتقال السلمي على المستوى العربي والإفريقي
وأضافت أن “الثورة الماضية يبدو أنها وعدت بالدخول في مرحلة نضالية جديدة من أجل الديمقراطية والحقوق الاجتماعية والاقتصادية في المنطقة وخارجها”، لافتة إلى أن كبار المثقفين والناشطين العرب والأفارقة مثل خير الدين حسيب وعزمي بشارة ومحمود ممداني وهوراس كامبل أكدوا على رمزية ميدان التحرير باعتباره الساحة التي جمعت المصريين من مختلف الخلفيات الدينية والسياسية والاجتماعية للدفاع عن قضية مشتركة
وأردفت أن “مصر قادت ما يسمى بـ “الصحوة الإفريقية” والتي تجلت في عدة دول مثل الكاميرون وموريتانيا وبلدات بجنوب إفريقيا، لافتة إلى أن هذه الأمثلة تشير إلى أن مصر باتت نموذجًا يحتذى به للدول الساعية للتغيير السياسي والاجتماعي، ليس هذا فحسب بل ساهمت الثورة في استعادة البلاد لدورها الإقليمي الذي فقدته منذ عام 1970 أي ما يقرب من أربعة عقود شهدت خلاله أزمات اقتصادية متتابعة مع سوء الحكم والإدارة كل هذا تركها في وضع حرج وذلك بالمقارنة مع الدول المصدرة للبترول في الخليج
ورأت المجلة أن ثورة يناير قدمت الفرصة كي تلعب مصر دورًا فعالاً في حل النزاعات الإقليمية تحسين صورتها وذلك بالاشتراك مع دول مثل ليبيا والسعودية وقطر. وطرحت تساؤلاً قالت فيه: “أين تقف مصر الآن بعد ثلاث سنوات من الثورة ؟”، لتجيب بأن عملية التحول الديمقراطي والثوار الذين انتظروا طويلاً من أجل التغيير تم دحضهم من خلال قوى داخلية، لافتة إلى أن الناشطين الشباب الذين أبهروا العالم بانتفاضتهم السلمية مستهدفون الآن من قبل الشرطة والتشهير في وسائل الإعلام بدلاً من الترويج للحرية والكرامة خاصة بعد ثورة يونيو
وتساءلت, ولكن أين تقف مصر اليوم بعد ثلاث سنوات من الثورة؟؟ إلى الإحباط الذي أصاب الثوار الذين انتظروا طويلا من أجل التغيير، تم إحباط التحول الديمقراطي من خلال القوى المحافظة في الداخل وفي المنطقة. الناشطين الشباب الذي ألهموا العالم مع انتفاضتهم السلمية الآن هم مستهدفون من قبل الشرطة والتشهير بهم في وسائل الإعلام.  بدلا من الترويج للحرية و الكرامة
ومصر لاسيما بعد 3 يوليو 2103، و تسير بخطى ثابتة على طول ‘ “خارطة الطريق إلى القمع”، وذلك وفقا عنوان تقرير صدر مؤخرا عن منظمة العفو الدولية
لافتة إلى أنه في الوقت ذاته, مع الاقتصاد المتعثر وفي ظل ظروف عدم الاستقرار السياسي، أصبحت مصر أكثر اعتمادا على القروض والمنح المقدمة إليها من دول الخليج العربي. و تدفق السيولة النقدية من المملكة العربية السعودية والكويت والإمارات العربية المتحدة، والتي تقدر بنحو 17 مليار دولار في الستة أشهر الماضية، قدمت كإغاثة مؤقتة إلى الحكومة المدعومة من الجيش. وهذا يعني أيضا أن هذه الدول المانحة قد عملت بنجاح على إحتواء الثورة المصرية وجعلت القاهرة تعتمد على اموال الخليج

The Walls Of The Cell Were Smeared With Blood

“I noticed that the walls of the cell were smeared with blood….I was beaten so hard that I was thrown from one side of the room to the other. I was slapped on my face, beaten on my head and cursed for criticizing the police and army…One of the girls told me later that the officer took off his shoes and beat her all over her body and on her face with them.” Protester in Cairo. Amnesty International.
egypt - 2014As celebrations got underway for the third anniversary of Egypt’s uprising against the rule of Hosni Mubarak, elsewhere across the country security forces also sought to prevent anti-government gatherings, breaking-up marches and rounding up hundreds of protesters and bystanders.
The scale of arrests was staggering. More than 1,000 people were arrested in a single day according to the Interior Ministry. At least 64 people were killed and hundreds injured in the violence that broke out as security forces tried to clear the protests.
Eyewitnesses and former detainees have described to Amnesty International the beatings and ill-treatment they suffered at the hands of the security forces on 25 January.
Beatings in detention
One protester in Cairo told how demonstrators, including girls and women, were beaten upon arrest after security forces fired live rounds in the air. They were then shoved inside a microbus to be driven to a nearby police station where further beatings followed.
“I noticed that the walls of the cell were smeared with blood….I was beaten so hard that I was thrown from one side of the room to the other. I was slapped on my face, beaten on my head and cursed for criticizing the police and army…One of the girls told me later that the officer took off his shoes and beat her all over her body and on her face with them,” the released protester said.
At the police station the protester said the arrested men were blindfolded and beaten all over their bodies and on their faces. Several detainees, including children, were beaten so badly they were unable to walk. One man was bleeding from the head. Another detainee’s clothes were ripped to shreds.
Despite being found carrying banners and flyers inscribed with slogans against both the Muslim Brotherhood and the army, the protester has been accused of belonging to a banned group – a charge faced by many perceived supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Others told Amnesty International that they had witnessed detainees being given electric shocks.
It was not only adults who found themselves targeted by the security forces that day. For 15-year-old Samar – not her real name- the day of the third anniversary rapidly evolved into a nightmare. She was seized in downtown Cairo by a pro-government group, including women, who beat and dragged her along the ground ripping her clothes, before handing her to the police. The police accused her of being a member of the Muslim Brotherhood or the 6 April Youth Movement, before letting her go.
But her ordeal was not over yet. Shortly afterwards she was stopped again by two soldiers, who detained her because they found a gas mask and a first aid kit when they searched her bag.
She said she was taken to a military building and held alongside male detainees in an outdoor space.
“They made the men strip down to their underwear, blindfolded them, forced them to kneel and then used a sort of electric black taser to shock them on the shoulders and backs,” she said.
Samar was held there for two days before being released.
Lawyers complained to Amnesty International that public prosecutors had also refused to refer detainees to the forensics department for further examinations alleging that their injuries were “minor”.
Access to lawyers
Several lawyers also told Amnesty International that they had been denied access to a number of detention facilities including a Central Security Forces (CSF) Camp on the Cairo-Alexandria desert road.
Others said that they were intimidated by security forces and even threatened at gunpoint.  Those who managed to gain access, including to the Tora CSF Camp, where at least 228 detainees were held, confirmed that they had seen several detainees with visible bruises on their faces and other parts of the body. Lawyers also said that by the time they were allowed in the camp most investigations had already taken place in their absence.
Amr Imam, a lawyer with the Front to Defend Egypt Protesters and the Hisham Mubarak Law Centre, was threatened at gunpoint by a man in a black uniform when he asked to see a group of detainees being held at Maadi Police Station, he told Amnesty International. He was struck in the chest with a rifle-butt. When he protested the man raised his machine gun and pointed it at him. Other members of the security forces followed suit. They threatened to shoot after counting to 10 if he did not leave.
Many detainees were also interrogated inside police stations and riot police [CSF] camps without access to lawyers – a clear violation of Egyptian and international law.
Amnesty International fears that many of the men, women and children arrested were merely exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly or were bystanders.
Among those arrested are individuals sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood, members of the 6 April Youth Movement, as well as independent activists. As in previous cases in the aftermath of Mohamed Morsi’s removal they face a long list of identical charges ranging from murder to hampering traffic. No material evidence is presented by the public prosecution to link individual suspects to specific crimes and little effort is made to establish individual criminal responsibility.
One protester told Amnesty International that he was only freed after he declared his support for the Minister of Defence, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
Three years ago many of those who took to the streets during the Egyptian uprising did so to express their anger at police abuse and brutality which had become routine in Mubarak’s Egypt.
Today the space for dissent and legitimate protests is rapidly disappearing.
While a handful of those arrested on 25 January this year have been released on bail, the vast majority remain in detention pending investigations.
As the scope of repression across the country continues to expand unabated, the hopes of freedom and justice are becoming more elusive. Questions also remain about how the upcoming presidential and legislative elections will proceed in a climate where differences of opinion are not tolerated.

egypt policeمع انطلاق الاحتفالات بمناسبة حلول الذكرى السنوية الثالثة لانتفاضة مصر التي أطاحت بحكم حسنى مبارك، سعت قوات الأمن في مناطق أخرى من مصر للحيلولة دون تنظيم تجمعات معارضة للحكومة، وفض المسيرات واعتقال مئات المحتجين والمارة  
لقد كان عدد الاعتقالات مروعا.  فلقد أُلقي القبض على أكثر من 1000 شخص في يوم واحد فقط، وذلك وفق تصريحات وزارة الداخلية.  كما قُتل 64 شخصا على الأقل وجرح مئات آخرون في أعمال العنف التي اندلعت إثر محاولة قوات الأمن فض الاحتجاجات المعارضة للحكومة
ووصف شهود عيان ومعتقلون سابقون لمنظمة العفو الدولية ما تعرضوا له من ضرب وسوء معاملة على أيدي عناصر قوات الأمن يوم 25 يناير/ كانون الثاني الماضي
التعرض للضرب في الحجز
تحدث أحد المحتجين عن تعرض المتظاهرين، بما في ذلك النساء والفتيات، للضرب لحظة اعتقالهم عقب قيام قوات الأمن بإطلاق الرصاص الحي في الهواء.  وحُشروا جميعا داخل حافلة ركوب صغيرة قبل أن يتم اقتيادهم إلى أحد أقسام الشرطة القريبة حيث نالوا نصيبهم من الضرب هناك أيضا
وقال أحد المحتجين ممن أُخلي سبيلهم: لاحظت أن جدران الزنزانة كانت ملطخة بالدماء … ولقد تعرضت للضرب المبرح بحيث أنني قد أُلقي بي من جانب إلى آخر داخل الغرفة. وتعرضت للصفع على وجهي، وضُربت على رأسي، وشُتمت لانتقادي الشرطة والجيش…  وقالت لي إحدى الفتيات فيما بعد أن الضابط خلع حذائه وضربها به على جميع أنحاء جسدها وعلى وجهها أيضا
وقال المتظاهر إنه قد أُعصبت عيون المعتقلين في أقسام الشرطة وتعرضوا للضرب المبرح على جميع أنحاء الجسد والوجه.  وتعرض عدد من المحتجزين، بما في ذلك الأطفال، للضرب المبرح بحيث لم يعودوا قادرين على المشي.  وكان أحدهم ينزف من رأسه، فيما مُزقت ملابس آخر وقُطعت
وعلى الرغم من أنه ضُبط وهو يحمل لافتات ومنشورات عليها شعارات مناوئة للإخوان المسلمين والجيش في آن معا، إلا أن ذلك المحتج اتُهم بالانتساب لعضوية جماعة محظورة – وهي التهمة التي تُسند عادة إلى الذين يُشتبه بأنهم من أنصار جماعة الإخوان المسلمين
وقال آخرون لمنظمة العفو الدولية أنهم قد شهدوا صعق محتجزين بالكهرباء
ولم يقتصر الأمر على البالغين الذين وجدوا أنفسهم مستهدفين من قبل قوات الأمن في ذلك اليوم.  فلقد تحول يوم الذكرى الثالثة للثورة إلى كابوس بالنسبة للفتاة سمر البالغة من العمر 15 عاما (وليس هذا هو اسمها الحقيقي).  فلقد ألقت جماعة موالية للحكومة، بينها نساء، القبض عليها وسط القاهرة، وقاموا بضربها وسحلها على الأرض مما تسبب بكسر أضلاعها وتمزيق ملابسها قبيل تسليمها للشرطة، التي اتهمتها بالانتساب لعضوية جماعة الإخوان المسلمين أو حركة شباب 6 أبريل قبل أن قوموا بإخلاء سبيلها لاحقا
إلا أن محنتها لم تنته عند ذلك الحد.  فبعيد فترة وجيزة استوقفها جنديان واحتجزاها بعد أن عثرا بحوزتها بعد تفتيش حقيبتها على قناع واقٍ من الغاز المسيل للدموع وحقيبة إسعافات أولية  
وقالت أنها اقتيدت إلى مبنى عسكري واحتُجزت رفقة رجال في ساحة خارجية
وقالت سمر: لقد طلبوا من الرجال التجرد من جميع ملابسهم باستثناء الداخلية منها، وأجبروهم على الجثو واستخدموا ما يشبه صاعق (تيزر) كهربائي أسود اللون لصعقهم على أكتافهم وأظهرهم
واحتُجزت سمر هناك طوال يومين قبل أن يتم إخلاء سبيلها
واشتكى محامون لمنظمة العفو الدولية من رفض وكلاء النيابة إحالة المحتجزين إلى الطبيب الشرعي بحجة أن إصاباتهم بسيطة
الاتصال بالمحامين
كما أخبر عدد من المحامين منظمة العفو الدولية أنهم قد مُنعوا من دخول عدد من أماكن الحجز، لا سيما المعسكر التابع لقوات الأمن المركزي على طريق القاهرة – الإسكندرية الصحراوي  
وقال آخرون أن قوات الأمن قد قامت بترهيبهم وتهديدهم بالسلاح.  وأما الذين تمكنوا من دخول بعض مراكز الحجز، بما في ذلك معسكر قوات الأمن المركزي في طره الذي يُحتجز فيه ما لا يقل عن 228 شخصا، فلقد أكدوا أنهم رأوا عددا من المحتجزين وقد بدت آثار كدمات ظاهرة على وجوههم وأنحاء أخرى من أجسادهم.  كما قال المحامون أنه في الوقت الذي سُمح فيه لهم بدخول المعسكر، كانت معظم التحقيقات قد أُنجزت دون حضورهم
وقال عمرو إمام المحامي مع جبهة الدفاع عن متظاهري مصر ومركز هشام مبارك للقانون أن رجلا يرتدي زيا أسود اللون قد هدده بالسلاح عندما طالب بزيارة مجموعة من المحتجزين في قسم شرطة المعادي.  ولقد ضُرب على صدره بعقب البندقية.  وعندما احتج على منعه من زيارة المحتجزين، رفع الرجل بندقيته الآلية وصوبها نحوه.  وهو ما قام به آخرون من عناصر قوات الأمن.  وهددوا بإطلاق النار عليه بعد أن يفرغوا من العد حتى الرقم 10 في حال لم يغادر   
كما خضع العديد من المحتجزين للاستجواب داخل أقسام الشرطة ومعسكرات قوات الأمن المركزي دون السماح لهم بالاتصال مع المحامين – وهو ما يشكل انتهاكا واضحا للقانونين المصري والدولي
وتخشى منظمة العفو الدولية أن العديد من الرجال والنساء والأطفال المعتقلين كانوا يمارسون حقهم في حرية التعبير عن الرأي والتجمع، أو أنهم كانوا من المارة وحسب
وتشمل قائمة المعتقلين أشخاصاً من المتعاطفين مع حركة الإخوان المسلمين، وأعضاء في حركة شباب 6 إبريل وناشطين مستقلين أيضاً  وكما حصل في قضايا أخرى سابقة في أعقاب عزل محمد مرسي، فيواجه هؤلاء قائمة طويلة من التهم المتشابهة والتي تتراوح من القتل إلى عرقلة حركة السير.  ولم تبرز النيابة أدلة مادية تربط بين المشتبه بهم وجرائم محددة، ولم يُبذل الكثير من الجهد بغية إثبات المسؤولية الجنائية الفردية
وقال أحد المحتجين لمنظمة العفو الدولية أنه قد أُخلي سبيله فقط بعدما أعلن عن تأييده لوزير الدفاع، عبد الفتاح السيسي
وقد نزل الكثيرون قبل ثلاث سنوات إلى الشوارع إبان الانتفاضة المصرية بغية التعبير عن غضبهم حيال انتهاكات الشرطة ووحشيتها التي أصبحت أمراً روتينياً معتاداً في مصر إبان حكم مبارك
وها هو حيز المعارضة والاحتجاجات المشروعة اليوم وقد بدأ بالتلاشي والاختفاء سريعا
وفي الوقت الذي تم فيه إخلاء سبيل مجموعة من الذين اعتُقلوا في 25 يناير/ كانون الثاني بالكفالة، فلا زالت الغالبية العظمى منهم داخل مراكز الحجز بانتظار انتهاء التحقيقات
ومع استمرار نطاق القمع في البلاد بالتوسع بلا هوادة، أضحت الآمال بالحصول على الحرية والعدالة أكثر بعدا من ذي قبل. وثمة أسئلة تُطرح بشأن الانتخابات الرئاسية والتشريعية القادمة، وإذا ما كانت سوف تُجرى في ظل مناخ يسوده عدم التسامح مع الرأي الآخر
