الحكومة تحارب أماكن تجمع النشطاء

يبدو أن تجمع النشطاء السياسيين والمثقفين في منطقة مقاهي البورصة لا يروق لبعض الجهات
فقبل أي مظاهرة معلنة تقوم الشرطة بشن حملة أمنية على المقاهي ومصادرة بعض الكراسي والشيش وتطفيش الزبائن ظنا منهم بان النشطاء يجتمعون على تلك المقاهي للاعداد للمظاهرة وان فركشة القعدة ها تفركش المظاهرة تاني يوم !!!
واليوم ظهرت النية المبيتة في جريدة الجمهورية على شكل تقرير يحتل نصف الصفحة الرابعة يزعم بان اغلاق شوارع منطقة البورصة وجعلها مخصصة للمشاه سبب اختناقات مرورية في وسط المدينة !!! وجعلها مرتعا للمخالفات من اول الشيشة حتى قعدات العشاق والانشطة المخالفة للاداب !!! وانه سيعاد النظر فيها !!!

IGWS Forum on Sexual Harassment
الإثنين 4 ديسمبر

It was supposed to be the usual feast celebration. Every year the ministry of interior bores us with the usual statement before the feast, whether on television or in the press: "the police will be highly alert in order to enable the Egyptians to enjoy the feast".

I usually don't go out during the feast days, but that very first day of Eid I happened to be on duty. I finished work and headed to down town to chill out with some friends. We were sitting in an outdoor café when a friend came to alert us that hell was breaking loose in the vicinity of Cinema Metro and Cinema Miami.

He started telling us about women being sexually harassed by huge numbers of men. His sentences comprised descriptions like: torn clothes, shattered ticket windows and a surprising absence of the police.

We were astounded. At first we did not quite believe him. We thought it must just be the usual Eid entertainment; guys trying to talk to girls, mild flirting, just hanging out, the normal stuff. We grew curious and went to see the broken ticket windows of Cinema Metro that would make a good picture or two.

Our group was made up of Reuters photographer Abdul Nasser Al Nouri, Al Karama newspaper photographer Peter Alfred, blogger and activist Malek Moustafa, blogger and activist Mhammad Gamal, Mohammad Al Sharkawy and several other bloggers, activists and professional journalists and myself. We were around ten, all of us saw what happened and some of us managed to take pictures.

Arriving at the scene we immediately noticed the destroyed ticket windows of the cinema, but other than that everything seemed normal except for the expected crowds outside the cinema during the feast days.

But all of a sudden dozens of guys started running in a certain direction. We followed. They were after a girl, encircled her and started touching and groping her. The girl ran and stumbled. They tried to stop her, but finally she was able to take refuge inside a restaurant. They surrounded the restaurant. The workers in there came out and tried to drive them away. A policeman tried to use his club but in vain.

Their attention was not diverted from the girl inside until one of them shouted: "another one at Cinema Miami". Only then did they all head in the direction of the other woman. The tragedy was repeated, and kept repeating itself till midnight as I was told by other witnesses the next day.

No matter how a woman was dressed, veiled or unveiled, young or old, alone or accompanied by a father, husband, brother or friend, it all made no difference. To them, anything that smelled like a female and moved was a target.

This unfortunate event took place more than once during the same day, by various groups of men, attacking many girls in different streets in the same vicinity simultaneously.
Two girls dressed in the gulfi Abaya were surrounded, separated and harassed. One of them took refuge in the entrance of a building and the janitors protected her. A security guy even drew his gun to drive away the gangs.

Another girl took refuge inside a shop whose owners had to pull down the shutters to protect her. They were so furious at what was happening that they decided to take things into their own hands, using clubs, whips and even broom sticks to rescue the other girls attacked outside the shop.

Even girls inside cars were harassed. A group of men tried to pull a girl out of a taxi. Another girl was withdrawing money from an ATM machine when she found herself surrounded by dozens who started touching and groping her. She was only rescued by a cab driver who took her inside his car, but the men did not like that and surrounded the taxi. Eventually he was able to flee with the girl in his car. There were, however, several other accounts of girls that were pulled out of taxis, and noble taxi drivers who insisted on saving them ended up with their taxi windows destroyed. Several eyewitnesses said that some of these girls had their clothes torn off and there were numerous other accounts on the internet and in the printed press of even more horrific incidents of sexual harassment, not only in Cairo, but also in Alexandria and Mansoura.

Unlike in peaceful protests where the police forces outnumber the demonstrators, there was less than half a dozen policemen at the scene. They were only keen on protecting the cinemas and the movie stars who attended their premiers.
They saw everything and did nothing despite the fact that the police station was just a few blocks away, so they could’ve asked for whatever extra forces needed to contain the chaos. The officers had walkie talkies, they could have asked for backup, but still didn't. Their only source of nuisance seemed to be “us” and our taking pictures. We approached them and asked them to act promptly, but they gave the feeble excuse that because of the feast they were outnumbered. They even tried to entice us to stop taking pictures by offering to let us into any of the cinemas to watch the movies for free.

We were speechless and helpless. Of course we could not fight all these numbers of angry men in the midst of such sexual frenzy. I was carrying a backpack with a laptop inside, not prepared at all for a street fight, so we decided to warn women and girls coming down the street, explain to them and ask them to change their route. This seemed to be the only helping hand we could lend on that crazy crazy night.

What was really shocking was that the same scenario repeated itself the following day and the day after on Talaat Harb street as well as several other places down town.

That day I did not have a professional camera. I only had the camera installed in my mobile phone. It was dark, too crowded and naturally people did not react too well to the fact that I was taking pictures. One security guard cocked his gun in my face to make me stop. I didn’t blame him. He thought it was scandalous, and indeed it was.

Due to the technical shortage, the pictures did not come out good, hence the reaction of the ministry of interior and some official newspapers that claimed that my photos were fabricated. The Reuters photographer in our group did not think highly of his photos either and he deleted them. As for Peter from Al Karama, and although his pictures were unclear as well he still kept them for the next issue of his weekly newspaper.

I uploaded my pics onto the computer, and decided to keep them for later use. Malek, Jimmy and Sharkawy all published their accounts of the incident in their respective blogs. The responses they received were massive. There was a whole gamut of people’s reactions. While some were shocked, others doubted the whole episode. Malek called me and asked me to publish the pictures, and only then that things got messier.

It had never happened to me before that anybody doubted the credibility of my photos, which are often used by most independent and opposition newspapers, and even some official newspapers resort to using them. The poor quality of the mobile phone down town photos seemed to be a good opportunity for some people to attack my credibility.

Reports published in official newspapers showed that there was an intention to fabricate a case against me for spreading rumours. Some journalists voiced suspicions in my report of the incident and attacked me personally. My family started receiving weird phone calls of people trying to locate me. Security officials attacked me severely on television and tried to make people believe that I had a criminal history.

I was only saved by some TV programmes which hosted eyewitnesses who were there during the crisis and who confirmed what I said, but it is such a shame that the ministry of interior would go that far and that low in order to cover up for their negligence.

Minister faces fire over Islamic veil controversy in Egypt
By Wael Abbas Nov 25, 2006, 8:55 GMT
Cairo - The Egyptian Minister of Culture has been left alone to face a storm of criticism over his views on the Islamic veil after most government officials have sided with his critics or refused to back him up.
Farouk Hosni the Egyptian Minister of Culture sparked the controversy when he described the growing popularity of the Islamic veil in Egypt as 'a regressive trend,' in an interview with an Egyptian newspaper.
In the Egyptian parliament Monday, 130 members demanded the resignation of the minister. The campaign against him united the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's main opposition movement which controls one fifth of the seats in parliament, and the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) to which he belongs.
Fifty NDP parliament members signed the petition demanding the minister's resignation.
The trial of Hosni for scorning religion was also demanded by 93 MPs, who said that their wives and daughters wore the Islamic veil.
The minister in an interview published last week with the Egyptian independent daily newspaper al-Masri al-Youm said: 'There was an age when our mothers went to university and worked without the veil. It is in that spirit that we grew up, so why this regression?'
Hosni also said: 'Each woman with her beautiful hair is like a flower and should not be concealed from the view of others,' adding that 'religion today focuses on appearances too much.'
Some religious scholars are debating whether Hosni can be considered a non-believer or not, something which might incite militant extremists.
For this reason Hosni reportedly asked the ministry of interior to increase security around him.
Observers say that Egypt is becoming an increasingly conservative society although it was considered to be one of the most liberal Arab countries in the 60s and 70s.
Owing to deteriorating economic conditions, a large number of Egyptians were forced to work in the oil-rich Arab countries of the Gulf. They absorbed their culture and brought it back to Egypt.
'They all distance themselves away when a subject like that is brought up', said Iqbal Baraka, author of the controversial book, The Veil.
Nobody 'wants to be pulled inside the storm,' added Baraka, who is also the editor in chief of Hawa (Eve) magazine, which has praised the courage of the minister.
Her book was published in 2002, but it was not until 2006 that it caused controversy when the Mufti attacked it and other religious scholars demanded it to be banned.
In her book, Baraka uses research methods to prove that the veil is not Islamic, nor does its use originate in the Koran.
Her book argues that it is merely a traditional costume introduced to cope with the lifestyle in the desert to protect both men and women from the sun and the sandstorms. She says it started 2,000 years before Islam in Assyria.
'Young people are unfortunately ignorant,' comments Barakat. 'Their knowledge about Islam is limited, and they received their information from Saudi financed religious satellite channels.'
Hosni did not attend the parliamentary session. However, he sent a paper to be read by the head of the parliament, in which he said: 'It was only my personal opinion, and not a press statement.
My words were taken out of context from a conversation that was off the record. The opinion about the veil is only for the religious scholars to decide. I did not mean what some tried to make it look like, I respect Egyptian veiled women.'
The controversy however has not abated and the minister will now have to answer questions before two parliamentary committees, the religious affairs committee and the cultural affairs committee.
Intellectuals in Egypt, including leftist and liberal opposition, have come out in favour of the minister.
They consider what has happened to be a form of intellectual terrorism and a campaign against freedom of speech.
This is the first time that an Egyptian minister has come under heavy criticism from his own side. It is unprecedented as even when a minister is accused of corruption or negligence the party protects him.
Farouk Hosni has been in office for 19 years. Last year, his resignation was refused after accusations of negligence when dozens were killed in a state-owned theatre in Upper Egypt.
Protests were held in Egyptian universities against the minister's remarks, and more protests are planned in the coming few days.
Egyptian state-owned television channels do not allow women wearing the Islamic veil to present programmes.

Iraqis ask - what happens next if Saddam is convicted?
By Wael Abbas Nov 3, 2006, 18:18 GMT
Baghdad - Dujail is a small Shiite town in Iraq. It is located some 65 kilometres north of Iraq's capital, Baghdad, and has around 10,000 inhabitants. But this small town is about to play a big part in the life of Iraq's former dictator Saddam Hussein.
On July 8, 1982 an unsuccessful assassination attempt targeted Saddam while he was visiting the town. His convoy was engaged in a three-hour firefight but the Iraqi dictator escaped unharmed.
Later, at Saddam's orders, a total of 143 males in the town were killed or executed, including a number of 13-year-old boys, in a reprisal for the failed assassination attempt.
Approximately 1,500 Shiites were incarcerated and tortured, while others, including women and children, were sent to desert camps. Saddam's regime destroyed the town and then rebuilt it. In addition, 1,000 square kilometers of farmland were destroyed and the regime did not allow any planting for 10 years.
Now, 24 years after the events, Hussein and seven other defendants are being tried for crimes against humanity. The trial, the first of a series against Saddam, began before the Iraqi Special Tribunal on October 19, 2005.
A verdict in the Dujail case is reportedly to be announced on Sunday fifth of November - raising many questions for Iraqis:
If Saddam was convicted, what will it mean for Iraq, how will it affect the political process, will sectarian violence escalate further, and what does it mean in the international context? And - does the timing have anything to do with the US congressional elections?
Members of the defence committee of Saddam and his aides consider the trial to be illegal.
The committee also contends that it is no accident that the verdict is to be announced on November 5 - just two days before the US congressional elections.
Hussein had told the court last July: 'I advise you as an Iraqi, if you were in a circumstance in which you have to issue a death penalty, you have to remember that Saddam is a military man and in this case the verdict should be death by shooting not by hanging.'
If back then supporters of Saddam in his home town Tikrit protested against the trial, the question now is whether the protests will be more widespread if Saddam is convicted. There is no way of predicting, analysts say, pointing out that there are no opinion polls about Saddam since he is no longer the main issue in Iraq.
Iraq is neck deep in sectarian violence between Sunnis and Shiites with no signs in sight that this will end soon.
Shiites mainly hate Saddam. And although whenever an insurgent attack happens the Iraqi government divides the blame equally between the so-called Saddamists and the extreme Sunni insurgents, in reality it is the extreme Sunni insurgents who are behind the majority of the attacks.
It cannot be said that this latter group are so particularly in love with Saddam that the violence would escalate further if the former leader is convicted.
But being on the safe side, the defence ministry has ordered all Iraqi troops now on leave to return to their barracks in a precautionary measure to be prepared for any possible escalation of insurgent attacks.
