Save the Soldier!

I guess this blog is turning more and more towards dedicating itself to Abdeen's soldier.

I was looking everywhere on news regarding the dude.

2 articles from Al Mesryoon:

Central Security soldiers scream "Kefaya!" (Enough) along with the Kefaya demonstrators:

"Despite police violence and the tightened security cordons during the last demonstration in Abdeen's square, the demonstrators were surprised when a soldier from the Central Security (riot police) Forces refused to carry out orders to beat the demonstrators.

What was strange in the matter was the insistence of the soldier on his position inspite of what abuse he took from the officers: cursings, insults and eventually beatings.

After the continuous and successive insults, the soldier did not but scream at the top of his voice "Kefaya!!" (Enough) and kept shouting it along with the shouts of the demonstrators."

Respect. Full Respect.

"The embarrassment appeared clear on the faces of the several ranking officers that were present, and who joined in in directing insults and threats to the soldier who did not give in and stood his stand.

Without delay, the officers immediately ordered a number of soldiers to forcefully carry their colleague to the armored Central Security van and then gathered round him and added to the insults and curses; kicking and beatings with sticks, metallic objects and the ends of whatever weapons they had."

I wish I was there :(

Good News?

Kefaya defends a Central Security soldier attacked by police

"A Central Security soldier suffered a hysterical state after the security forces started attacking the demonstrators in front of the Abdeen Palace. The Central Security soldier challenged the orders of his superiors, started screaming "Kefaya!! Kefaya!!" (Enough!! Enough!!) and threw his stick in support of the demonstrators.

The crowd of demonstrators was surprised by the state of the Central Security soldier and his colleagues who beat him with their sticks, constrained him and dragged him inside the armored cars to terrorize the other colleagues of whom secretly sympathized with the demonstrators.

"Al Mesryoon" found out that a number of Kifaya Movement figures and some lawyers representing Human Rights Organizations will head off to the Attorney General's office to raise a report regarding the aggression that took place on the Central Security while demanding the preservation of his life and his immediate release ."

I hope they really escalate the issue because if anything that guy will be fucked big time. This could work for or against Kefaya. If Kefaya succeeds in defending the soldier, his colleagues will realize that we ARE in facting fighting FOR them, fighting FOR justice, fighting this fucked up regime, their unlawful power, we are standing WITH them, FOR them, for the SIMPLE guy. If Kefaya fails, the soldier will probably have his life destroyed. I dunno how far they will go but torture is a very strong possibility. Probably one of the merciful options. He will then be set up as an example to the rest. To anyone who even secretly sympathizes with Kefaya. It will make them fucking think a zillion times before even going soft with the demonstrators.
