I have to say I’m really disappointed by the lawyers and investigative journalists who are handling/following Emad Kabeer’s case.
Where the hell is Emad now? I heard yesterday from a blogger that Emad had been transferred to Damanhour Prison. Is that true? Why Damanhour Prison which is far away from the eyes of his family and lawyers in Giza and Cairo? Why hasn’t the lawyers been updating us about the guy’s condition in prison? It is as if his case was closed and forgotten since he was sentenced to three months in prison for “resisting authorities.”
Every single one involved in the case had expressed concerns about Emad’s safety in prison when he was sentenced in January. Rights activists expressed fears of Emad being intimidated in prison, away from the world’s eyes, so as to either drop the case against Captain Islam Nabih, or change his story.
Al-Masry Al-Youm today, thankfully reminded us of Emad’s case, by publishing the minutes of the Prosecutor’s interrogation of lawyer Nasser Amin that took place last 25 November.
But that’s not enough! Hell, if we can even get daily updates about Emad’s condition in prison, then do it! To our journalist, lawyer and rights activist friends, do NOT forget Emad, and do NOT leave us in the dark here. Keep us updated please.
