ultimately bringing about the end of president hosni mubarak's 30 year rule. the protests began on january 25th with calls from social media platforms for people to take to the streets demanding freedom justice and bread. those calls by unarmed civilians were met with the type of police brutality that was synonymous with the mubarak regime consequently the demands and chants shifted to a simple and very clear one. was shaab you read scott in the rom or the people demand the form of the regime. on february the 11th it's felt or solo the faults were box that the site and the country's military generals took charge despite attempts by the army to maintain power they were forced to allow the country's 1st ever free and fair parliamentary elections to take place those were then followed by

a vote for the presidency which resulted in the muslim brotherhood parties mohamed morsi becoming egypt's 1st ever democratically elected president. throughout that time social and economic instability became the norm egyptians had begun experiencing political freedom but living conditions remained bad regular attic tricity outages and the never ending fuel shortage crisis led many to direct their opposition to egypt's post revolution president discontents continued to rise and in 2013 supported by the army and police another mass protest took place will be it's far smaller in size and shorter in duration than that of 2011. the protesters said morsi had to go because he failed to deliver on the goals of the revolution his supporters said it was the counter revolution that had been sabotaged the morsi presidency and was now behind the unrest it's later transpired that most of the crises were in fact manufactured and the violence which rocked egypt streets had

been encouraged by a deep states with lots of traverse the gains of the gen-u. 25th revolution. their move all of morsi by a military coup in 2013 installed on the general abdul fatah has sisi as either an ultimate. president it all. since assisi came to power egypt has become the world's 2nd largest borrower from the i.m.f. in 2014 the country had a foreign debt of $46000000000.00 today that figure is more than 125000000000 poverty levels in egypt have increased just a clique and more than 50 percent of the country's revenue is spent on trying to pay back its foreign debt. meanwhile its easy has found money to build several huge new palaces and buy a new presidential plane amongst other things but here actions that have enraged the egyptian public the vast majority of which lives on or below the poverty line

10 years on cairo's tahir square is a far cry from what it looked like egypt is not the country those who protested dreamed it would become and for tens of millions of egyptians they have little if any freedom justice and bread. joining us live from jamal you reported on the arab spring very closely particularly egypt what can you remember of the time well back then mobile journalism was just the beginning or just taking off and i remember it was very difficult to try and capture what people were expressing why they were risking their lives why they were massing in tens of thousands if not millions across the streets of egypt to remember those of our viewers who saw those historic images the egyptian government at the time shots off the internet they blocked phone lines all of that was an attempt to make people. to prevent those messages from reaching the

world and working for our desire at the time and the journalists who understood egypt it was we were in a privileged situation not just to experience that but we had the responsibility of transmitting what was taking place in the streets the shootings of the innocent protesters the torture and so forth to the world so that was extremely challenging from one respect but from a different perspective the overwhelming emotions that were being expressed by young people who wanted a better future by all the egyptians who had had enough of decades of oppression of poverty by the middle class who were seeing themselves slip into poverty all of that together where they should the way the things of division that existed be it's gender religion. that was something that was also you know very. powerful to say the least so there were 18 days that really maybe the world hadn't

seen or at least the arab world hadn't seen before until now it hasn't seen something replicated that being said when we look back at the past 10 years what we can see is that the aspirations of those millions who gathered have unfortunately not material. warrior that's because the revolution failed because it was a revolution or whether it was defeated because of the powers that be tried to reverse it but definitely there are still those demands if not the need for economic reform for freedom and for lack of torture and oppression now more than ever amongst the adoptions many thanks for. their 1st live in doha let's stay with egypt because amnesty international is accusing egyptian prison authorities of deliberately denying health care to in inmates in order to punish dissent a new report documents the experiences of 67 people held in prisons across the

country 10 of whom have died in custody and 2 shortly after release amnesty amnesty says government critics or those perceived to be opponents of the government are targeted with were prize ols intentionally deprived of health care food and family visits and city says it's led or contributed to deaths in custody and irrepairable harm to prisoners health rights groups estimate the hundreds have died since 2013 in quote horrid prison conditions the rights group is calling on egypt to reduce its prison population and provide prisoners with adequate health care where we can speak to hussein power means the egypt and libya research or amnesty international it joins us on skype from pest many thanks for speaking to us on al-jazeera your report is called what do i care if you die a very bleak title there tell us what you found in this report.

sure morning so really what we found. first a resume that negligence towards the lives of prisoners by prison officials is really i mean one of the instance of doctors that came to see female detainee who was suffering in bleeding after hours of trying to hold him when she told him to hospital what he told her for a few die and this was really represents a medical negligence and the negligence towards the lives of prisoners in egypt crowded overcrowded and unsanitary and unhealthy prison cells but also we look at in some cases in many cases political prisoners in these a officials and prison officials a deliberate 3 undermines that i think the dignity of political prisoners by completely preventing simply receiving good health care is a could really lead to service and it has led to this in some cases but also in putting them in a horrific conditions including sort of confinement completely putting themselves

without even get for 24 hours a day reducing seafood in the event exempt from seeing that families at all for years during detention and really this is a situation in prisons or supported boys or prosecutors complicity were officers not only is it fair to investigate prison officials for doing so but in many cases we found the ex who protects him from doing so. i think. this is not the 1st time that we've heard about the conditions in egypt prisons many reports by human rights organizations have been written about the situation there the question is why is nothing being done about it. well that is a good question really it is a question that we posed to the international community i mean this situation they have been deteriorating for years and years and years and human rights organizations including arms international have worn it repeatedly said the. human

rights situation in egypt if it's left to deteriorate more and more people will die and this is what we are seem for example in prison so now is is an extremely important for charity for the international community to come together to pressure egypt and its human rights of oil ations and stick steps towards having concrete action for example establishing community going to porton mechanisms of human united nations human rights council to monitor what's happening in egypt otherwise to assume will only continue to deteriorate and who will only see it continue to see more people die or meet more people suffering in nj in the u.s. we have a new administration president biden's administration has been very sympathetic to the human rights situation in egypt are you hopeful that that could bring about change. differently hopeful that so new administration will be more receptive to human rights issues in egypt and more widely again what has dollars that he was

allowed to go on was such a good qualities that over the last 4 and 5 years really we have seen large international indifference towards what's happening in egypt except for a few cases but sin was a new administration we're hopeful that as a president biden has put it before that there would be more interest in human rights and it would be no blank checks to tarion leaders who are really abusing. the nation and undermining so life's in cases like is hussein boni many thanks for your time egypt and libya researcher international. colombia's former rebel group fark house renamed its political party the revolutionary armed forces of colombia will now be called the common people's party the former rebel group struggled to disassociate itself from its role in nearly 60 years of violence that has killed more than 260000 people and became
