there's rich but in europe there's a sharp morning whoever accept money from the new superpower will become dependent on the commitment of the shaking the chinese state has a lot of money and is just volatile. and that's how it's expanding asserting its status and position in the world the fish of. china's gateway to europe starts feb 19th on d w. january 20th 11 hundreds of thousands of men and women in egypt protest against the regime of president hosni mubarak who has been in power for 3 decades there demanding his resignation more freedom and social justice. the mass protests are

a success mubarak is forced to step down. the egyptian military assumes power yet the protests go on the police and military retaliate with ever greater force many women become the targets of sexual harassment and violence perpetrated by the military the police and religious zealots. the situation does not change just the party of the islamic muslim brotherhood wins the parliamentary elections in january 2012th and their candidate mohamed morsi becomes the new president in june 2012 egyptians soon take to the streets again to demonstrate against morsi is regime once more there are many women in the front line i joined the cultist against morsi but with big gatherings and problems i. and then mr coats many women often.

salted. i was touched and groped by many men. sexual harassment and sexual violence has been strictly evident since the virginity virginity tests i mean. rape and assault they were taking place all the time but more than anything no one was just us protecting ourselves. so we decided as a group of friends to form some sort of an intervention team started up as operation anti-sexual harassment and then later on when we realized that we should not sugarcoat the level of the crime we are slashing assault.

was in the 21st of january 2013. we've documented 19 cases of sexual assault and rape at least one of them was raped with a with a knife. it was extremely brutally unplugged she. was. peeping this is not a brawl the red circle indicates the position of the young woman she's being sexually assaulted in this home and 3 or 4 pairs of hands are in her trousers and 3 or 4 others inside her blouse 10 people are pulling her from every direction. some

people are helping her. she was a man takes office trousers to cover her. another does the same with his jacket. this young woman can't breathe and all the pulling and pushing she passes out. i thank god she's not wearing a scarf like the girl they tried to strangle with the one she was wearing or the girl who was penetrated with a knife or the woman who was raped in front of her children and the i. eman don't these women will never be told they are heroes. said we will not be silenced this is our revolution and we will fight this battle to the last for us. forces government that nothing. no one found on forces investigating

the sexual violence that took place during their who. is said whoever was an authority watched this happen and they were blaming each other. neither of them have done anything to protect women and women's bodies became just a battlefield a political battle feeds. the was the i was i the i was i was.

a year ago morsi won 51 percent of the but now it's clay the $22000000.00 signatures of being gathered against. me believes they shout to writing him as autocratic and incompetent as poverty unemployment inflation and debt all continue to worsen the president's supporters insist he must stay in power by brotherhood spokesman warns the group supporters will not turn the other cheek and the 2 camps seem headed inexorably to finding clash. and if seen and we wanted the people to topple the brotherhood we could paddle selves for that if we had a 10 term time to square one to tend to the presidential palace we were prepared to stay a month or 2. they're going to have hot but we were preempted when c.c. issued a 48 hour ultimatum and get the money on band sat millions of people once again

taking to the streets huge huge crowds in tahrir square the military has given the president a major ultimatum egypt's army announces it will intervene within 48 hours the clock is ticking and nobody arm as he didn't mean the wasting more time will only lead to more division and conflict minelli in case anyone else. pinball machine it is not possible for the people empowered me the people chose me through a free and fair election just the people approved the constitution that assigned me a role in the country expects me to act in accordance with this legitimacy. of the . but actually the constitution or the presidency like you just heard bleeder of the

egyptian military general el-sisi make it official of the egyptian president mohamed morsy is out. of the family and i was there the moment morsi was removed from power. i had been chanting and celebrating with my colleagues and it suddenly hit me this staff was brought about by the military. people. the most of them the morsi was as happy as i was that most of was out that had been our goal i was afraid because it was achieved by the military. with the military tried to seize power again. by himself would we see more military violations on the streets and in the square killings torture dragging and abuse of

women i was very concerned about what would come into. the. authorities are increasingly using the word terrorism when describing supporters of the ousted president mohamed morsi the muslim brotherhood. i. i am such a sissy i'm asking you c.c. who appointed you who appointed you or you delegate morsi appointed we will burn you i was bad i thought it was me you

just saw fighting to the ground reportedly pushed off a bridge by supporting the forces are you the muslim brotherhood they are financing the forces of the interim government opened fire in the street. the muslim brotherhood say scores of protesters are dancing they claim police were shooting to kill and we are going to the morgue we've witnessed so many noise that they forced parents to sign reports saying their child died of suicide while fighting when they were actually shot in the chest heartbreaking. to. the unique. culture that i often work late at the low santa and it's very difficult for me to get home probably exalted on my.

busy loss of pressure when you're dealing with people who have been arrested or are missing the situation in this country is very difficult at the moment no one feels safe honest in a cinema and. was. leaking illegally brightest of the house at 7 am the police headed to grab a square and surrounded it from all directions it. was trapping everyone and sucked. thank you. thank you our. thanks.

to our. thanks to our thanks. and then you have to say i went to a bar the next day and i will never forget that smell of death. and that's what kind of people they were they were still people with nest. mom going to and if i

can add to some that idea out of the city and could have been cleared in a more humane way they could have blocked a toff cut the electricity supply the water supply and been also i don't know it could have been the sewage system but to burn down the most skin a gas station in my in my eyes good which headed by the zima. live which in many dead bodies for the morgue to handle. a good cause so the bodies were piled in the street. they were covered with newspaper and ice because it was so hot hot. the real. people here is a french journalist who wants to interview hand. hend nephew and the coordinator of

the human rights defenders program. what do you think is the reason for this repression. any regime can use repression as a way to control opposition there will be more arrests and there will be more violence i mean in the next phase the rate of violence and the rate of arrests will increase decrease. are there a lot of detainees facing severe charges like terrorism. yes everyone arrested is charged with terrorism. will the government prevail. prevail. they claim the state is eliminating terrorism but terrorism will only increase because of the state's extreme violence. that's not the way to eliminate terrorism this will only increase terrorism in egypt i predict will suffer for years to come because of the way security forces dealt with the muslim brotherhood.

who survived but it's true scraps ruined morse's government and now back to an interim government backed by the army. and the same activists are being tried and arrested. they have transferred my case to a terrorism court. in a court of the judiciary is now handing out severe sentences against the revolutionaries and. i try to stay optimistic everything will be ok god

willing. the lawyers will do what's necessary to prove us innocent but not. whom are you here to defend hens nifty. against the hearing started and it was clear from the beginning that the judge was totally against us he insisted on locking us in the cage 1st. before. i'm presenting the findings of the investigation into the events of the murder and injury of protesters in december 27th you. will note these allegations in the record. your investigation reports say that the officers and soldiers attack these people. yes you are saying these people in the cage are victims correct. are you saying the police are bastards who go around randomly arresting people where's your proof. our request to submit the

evidence is in the document before you. so this document contains all the evidence you want to submit yes your honor we are adamant the 7th be entered in the court record. the courts decided to postpone this case. i. will see how will we get out of this.

quite well then i predict that you'll be sentenced to at least 10 years. they want the majority of activists or those involved in human rights activities to be in prison so be prepared for it. as you say you're a human rights and women's rights activist so they have their eye on you and. that's why i think the verdict will be severe it won't be lenient 5 years would be an acquittal in this case misha encompassing the full for the lead because of what i think an acquittal would be like condemning the enemy so they're not going to acquit us that i've started to put him myself or whatever happens the most important thing is that you guys come to visit me ringback. we'll come visit you we don't abandon anyone all of you. will be there all the time you'll be sick of us. god is with you and will be with us don't worry. these are really dark

days. i won't annoy that i'm scared about the trial but what lies ahead can't be worse than what i've already experienced.

the folly of all my keep these with even case someone is arrested hike them in your pockets and pass them around if someone is mistreated they'll know who to call we have lawyers that's why i have it all for the past 2 weeks i've had an uneasy feeling. my brother joined the army and i'm always a protests. i'm going to it's possible that i'll find my brother standing there with his weapon ready to use against me. and he could be the one who drags me away of arrests and tortures me or my friends he could fire a bullet at me my killer could be my brother and be a holy. man

and what's going on. we have to split into groups they're arresting all the young people we're surrounded by security forces it's a disaster waiting to happen. i think. the time i. think. i know people united to depose

a president 3 years ago but not enough people are divided. on the one side those who believe the military backed interim government has saved the revolution. on the other those who maintain their hopes of democracy are not that. someone's been shot ok so. what happened to you. believe that i would move. beyond. those protesting the military fact take to the full speech dispersed by the police objects new goals fitting and all thrice protest as well as the tear gas the kids are we going to be strong today we knew this was going to happen we will rise to the occasion come on we have a car. to climb and we have to get out of here. please

. keep this. league. only god can help us know. you was. was not the emotion we're taking to the streets to see our revolution through to the end but after 3 years the situation has gotten worse. every time we go out and protest we think it's going to get better but the only thing increasing is the number of people dying bloody deaths we are being killed off all put in jail every time we demonstrate for a new president the new one attacks and kills more of us than the last thing as if .

that means that we've been in a street war for the past 2 hours and they've arrested many young protesters those not carrying cc's photo were taken away has become a symbol of freedom and those without his picture of the opposition which is freedom that we have seen. as long as there are people like you behind us mama will never give up or despair and i want you to know one thing nobody is going to be our go out whoever brings bread freedom and social justice to egypt i will respect him but fear and violence will not intimidate us terrorism is not the muslim brotherhood all the street thugs the most dangerous terrorists are the ones who arrest and humiliate people no one has been put on trial yet for murdering the egyptian people. they charged convict and kill us and stand.

please. please leung. it's not hard to remember what i wanted to do in the revolution because what i want to ban is what i want now freedom who doesn't want freedom. that the mobs that were

chanting sums it on are that freedom and social justice thank you for being fighting for women's rights pacific's me. course i'm not as positive as i was once but it's. the mops and brooms we're i want to know from you wearing what you're not wearing we're going to fight we have rights and it doesn't matter who's have power and. believe me made that point in the past yes ok we're here to stand up. and we had a baby victory. for the. good. looking man who. could name and i know so many more my colleagues and i always say that a nation without torture is a dream that will make come true we are working hard to achieve that goal when

heading. over. to the other. one of how do i still have conflicts with my family. some space still not convinced that i'm right. yes but i'm glad i do what i do and i do it with love i feel that i'm conveying a message and contribution to a cause i believe in. the . good.
