Abdel Moneim Gamal Eddin is a journalist with Al-Sha’ab newspaper, who’s been languishing in prison for 14 years, since 21 February 1993, despite court orders for his release. His story is very telling about the regime’s Dirty War tactics against the Egyptian people. Here’s a short amateur documentary (divided into three clips), produced by two Kefaya bloggers, about Abdel Moneim’s saga, including interviews with his family and leftist lawyer Ahmad Seif.

Popular anger at Israel grows but state does not follow, say experts
From the Daily Star Egypt:
The temperature of Egypt’s cool peace with one-time adversary Israel appeared to be heading towards record lows this week, amid allegations that the Israeli military executed Egyptian prisoners of war near the Sinai city of Al Arish during the 1967 Six Day War.
The allegations were made in an Israeli documentary film titled “The Shaked Spirit,” aired last week on Israeli television. In it, the filmmakers examine the war-time role of that famed IDF unit, and alleged that under the command of current Israeli Infrastructure Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, the unit executed 250 unarmed POWs.
