SSS: State Security Saints

Posted on By 3arabawy

Despite all my frustration that I’m away from Egypt and missed out on the strongest strike the country had in two decades… I’m for sure grateful I’m away from the intensive bullshit and govt propaganda, a.k.a. Ramadan soap-operas, on Mubarak’s State TV.

Like almost every year, soaps are portraying State Security and police officers as angels, well behaved, thinking of nothing except the well being of their prisoners 24/7, fighting corruption bravely, locking up even a son of minister!!!! LOL! A son of a minister gets imprisoned on criminal charges in Egypt!!? When did this ever happen!?

And what’s even better, lawyers in the soaps try to convince the detainees to “falsely accuse” the police officers of torture and mistreatment! LOL once again! I won’t be surprised if they also show those evil bloggers digitally fabricating torture videos and accusing those State Security Saints of brutality.
