discover who. was. subscribed to the documentary on you tube. last. 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 as 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 cultists against the most but when they got their ranks and problems i ended most of all the codes many women felt assaulted. i was punched in the groped by men who met. sexual harassment and sexual violence has been. secret evidence 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 we 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 documented 19 cases of pop sexual assault and rape at least one of them was raped with a with a knife. it was extremely brutally unplugs he. was. i. mean this is not a brawl the red circle indicates the position of the young woman she is 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 would be 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. as a thank god she's not wearing the 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. women 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 press. forces government that nothing. no one found armed forces investigating the sexual violence that took place during their who. instead 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 the was was the was. the. 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

his autocratic and incompetent as poverty unemployment inflation and yet 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 they too can seem headed inexorably to finding clash. and have seen it happen and we wanted the people to topple the brotherhood we could peddle selves for that if we had a tent in tahrir square even to tend to the presidential palace we were prepared to stay a month or 2. they're going to have but we were preempted when c.c. issued a 48 hour ultimatum get a menu on ban sack millions of people and once again taking to the streets huge crowds in tough areas where the military is giving the president a major ultimatum egypt's army announces it will intervene within 48 hours the

clock is ticking and nobody on as he didn't mean the wasting more time will only lead to more division and conflict meanwhile in case a. plane crash it is not possible for the people empowered me the people chose me through a free and fair election. the people approved a constitution that assigned me a role in the country expects me to act in accordance with this legitimacy concluded. 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 morsi is. on the phone and

i was there the moment morsi was removed from power one of the i had been challenging and celebrating with my colleagues it suddenly hit me this stiff was brought about by the military. because. i had the most of the numbers to machine as happy as i was that mostly was out that had been al gold i was afraid because it was achieved by the military. i did it with the military tried to seize power again. 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 armies are increasingly using the word terrorism when describing supporters of the ousted president mohamed morsi the muslim brotherhood. i. i have such specific i'm asking you c.c. who appointed you who appointed you are you dog morsi appointed to you we will burn you up i was pleased that you just saw fighting to the ground reportedly pushed off a bridge by supporters of the 4th party the muslim brotherhood they are planting

the forces of the interim government and opening fire in the street. the muslim brotherhood say scores of protesters are dancing they claim police are 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 breaking. through the heart. in the unique culture that i often work late at the low santa and it's very difficult for me to get home a lot it's all the shit on my. feet. there

is a lot of pressure when you're dealing with people who've been arrested or are missing the situation in this country is very difficult at the moment no one feels safe and cement i made. me eat any food anything right to study at 7 am the police had to grab a square and surrounded it from all directions he. was trapping everyone inside. thank. you.

and then you must get up i went to the ball the next day and i will never forget the smell of death. no matter what kind of people they were they were still people that next. month again it's like a lot to some that are they out of the city and could have been cleared in a more humane way they could have blocked a toll cut the electricity supply the water supply and most enough so i know it

could have been the sewage system but to burn down the most skin a gas station him as good which headed by the zima. there were too many dead bodies for the morgue to handle. because so the bodies were piled in the street. they were covered with newspaper and ice because it was so hot out. there he is a french journalist who wants to interview hand. hens. 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 they 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 not 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. down my spine.

by. x. rule caps rule and more says 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. and the judiciary is now handing out severe sentences against the revolutionaries. it's a lot of money i try to stay optimistic everything will be ok god willing. the lawyers will do what's necessary to prove us innocent but all right not. home are

you here to defend henderson if he. gets 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. 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 this evidence be entered in the court record. and the courts decided to postpone this case. i. will see how will we get out of this. quite although i mean 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. so i think the verdict will be severe it won't be lenient 5 years would be an acquittal in this case and. for one of them i think an acquittal would be like condemning the army so they're not going to acquit us i've started to prepare myself for whatever happens the most important thing is that you guys come to visit me you will 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 it's hard.

i went to ny that i'm scared about the trial but what lies ahead can't be worse than what i've already experienced.

the fall of the market these with even case. someone is arrested hide them in your pockets and pass them around if someone is mistreated they'll know who to cool we have lawyers this is why i have it all for the past 2 weeks i've had an uneasy feeling that my brother joined the army one of them and i'm always a protests. from going the it's possible that i'll find my brother standing there with his weapon ready to use it against me i am he could be the one who drags me away aggressor and torches me or my friends he could fire bullets at me my killer could be my brother and be a holy i can't handle 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. please play hey. play. a little here i i i was i. i. i. i i i people united oppose the president 3 years ago but now not before the bided i the one side they should believe the military backed interim government has saved the revolution. i the other those who

maintain the. hopes of democracy. someone's been shot ok so. what happened to you. look at all of the enemy. those protesting the military fact take to be dispersed by the police object. to being thrice protest as well as with tear gas. cans 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. we have to get out of here. and.

only god can help us no. more you. name or we're. not going to you know 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 dead 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. man is that we've seen in the street war for the past 2 hours and they've arrested

many young protesters those carrying cc's photo taken away has. easy become the symbol of freedom and those without his picture of the opposition which is freedom day. as long as there are people like you behind us mama will never give up or despair and i want you to know one saying nobody is going to be our god 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 or the street thugs the most dangerous terrorists are the ones who lie 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. meet. the world.

was. eat. eat. eat eat eat it's not hard to remember what i wanted to do in the revolution because what i wanted to ban is what i want now freedom who doesn't want freedom that. is. that the masses that were chanting sons of god are that freedom and social justice including fighting for women's rights for said fix me. course i am not as positive as i was once but.

moxon very clear i want to know from you weighing what you're not wearing we're going to fight we have rights and it doesn't much of was a coward and. believe me i made that point and the past years hey we're here. we had a baby victory. for the. good looking man who. could name and i know so many mourn 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 having. good i'm.

gonna have that i still have conflicts with my family. the social base still not convinced that i'm right. but i'm glad i do what i deem and i do it with love i feel that i'm conveying a message and contribution to a cause i believe in and i believe in the good and the. the good for. the good. of the good for the good of the citizens of. the 4th of june.

that's.
