How long does it take for those out re who have Drinnenvergessen re? This is bet every dictatorship IhrerGefangenen on back. In Egypt, regime is gaining it. The Gefängnissedes Abdel Fattah al-Sisi are full, human rights organisationeng marriages of more than 60,000 political prisoners, and who wants to know exactly wiemit many of m is handled re, who read recent report of "Human Rights Watch" on torture in Sisis Ägytpen.
An alternative method is slow wear undZermahlen of individuals by Egyptian judiciary.
On behalf of tens of thousands, name MahmudAbu Zeid is mentioned here. The special occasion: The man was recently 30 years old, of whom he spent past four in a Cairo prison.
Middle East correspondents know him under SeinemKünstlernamen Shawkan. He is a photographer, and one of really good ones, even if his talent is not to play a role here. His paintings were published in American, British and German media.
On 14 August 2013 he photographed with colleague DieEreignisse at Cairo Rabaa-al-Adwijaa-Platz, where at that time followers of toppled President Mohammed Morsi had erected a protest camp. "Events" is a euphemism in this context. On that day, army UndPolizei a bloodbath and killed more than 800 people, most of ihnenAnhänger of Muslim Brorhood.
Numerous journalists were arrested, including with Shawkan Frenchman Louis Jammes and American Mike Giglio. All three landed in same cracking where y were beaten up. Jammes and Gigliokamen soon free again. Shawkan sits in Torah prison since n. After almost two years of imprisonment, he was brought to a judge for first time. In September, prosecutor's office, toger with over 700 or prisoners, 2015klagte him for "murder, attempted murder, illegal assembly and illegalenWaffenbesitzes". The first three accusations are obviously absurd, fourth is true if you take camera in hands of a journalist as a Waffesieht. What Egyptian state is doing.
Shawkan threatens death penalty in case of conviction.
In recent years I have only had opportunity to view this Tora prison from outside – 2014 in connection with demProzess against three journalists of Al Jazeera.
At that time we waited for hours for next round of negotiations and Ließenuns, meanwhile, by members of or prisoners in front of gate DieHaftbedingungen signs. It became clear: one does not have to Verurteiltwerden to death. You can die in Torah prison even without executioner.
Shawkan is ill with hepatitis C and also suffers from anemia. There is no medical care in prison that deserves that name. In December 2016, his lawyers requested release of IhresMandanten for medical reasons. In May 2017, judiciary refused to Antragmit justification that Shawkan was healthy.
