Over the past few days in Egypt we have witnessed: the detention of the prominent Egyptian blogger, Alaa Abd El Fattah; one more civilian victim of the Military Trials is believed to have been tortured to death in his jail; the murderers of Khaled Said (the case that fueled the Egyptian revolution) were recently punished with only seven years in jail; and until now, the Supreme Council of Armed Forces has refused to bear responsibility for the massacre that took place in the Maspero area, earlier this month. All these incidents have made Egyptian bloggers wonder whether are we back to square one?
لقد شهدنا في مصر على مدى الأيام القليلة الماضية: احتجاز المدون المصري البارز علاء عبد الفتاح، بالإضافة إلى ضحية أخرى للمحاكمات العسكرية يعتقد أنه تم تعذيبه حتى الموت داخل السجن، فضلاً عن أن قتلة خالد سعيد (القضية التي أشعلت الثورة المصرية) حكم عليهم مؤخراً بالسجن سبع سنوات فقط.
