Prosecutor orders Moneim’s release

MABROOOOOOOOUK!

More details soon!

UPDATE: It’s confirmed. The Public Prosecutor has ordered Moneim’s release today!

It’s a great day for all those who care about freedom in Egypt. I personally wanna thank every single person who was involved in the solidarity campaign. If it wasn’t for the support Moneim received from his activists inside and outside the country, our blogo-brother would have stayed in Mubarak’s Gulag for months, if not years… and he could have been tortured again.

Let’s not forget their are other political detainees still left behind in prison. They include students, doctors, engineers, teachers–repectable citizens of this country, who dared to raise their voices against the corrupt regime that rules us.

I know also we all want to celebrate, but let’s postpone this till Moneim is actually free. Remember, you don’t just get released from prison right away. They refer detainees to State Security HQ first, then they take them to their local police stations. Last year, our friends Alaa, Malek, and other Kefaya detainees were beaten up in the police stations prior to their release.

We’ll always stand united against Mubarak’s dictatorship.

Although he was under prosecution custody, but he was detained in Basyoun police centre’s prison where officer Walid Ammar and Basyoun police chief, Tamer, continued torturing him for six full days. They were, starting from 12.00 midnight till 4.00AM, torturing him with electric shocking and beating, till he became deaf in one of his ears.
After six days of torture, he was moved to Tanta public prison on Monday, May 21, 2007, and he is currently in prison in a very deteriorated state of health.
