In Loving Memory of Vittorio Arrigoni

I met Vittorio at a protest against the proposed Gaza Steel Wall, in Cairo. He was standing quietly holding a banner in Arabic saying: no to the wall of shame. He wasn't trying to grab attention or make a show. We exchanged a few words and I was immediately impressed by his modesty and sense of humour.

A few days later, I was surprised to find that the friendly stranger I met was a famous blogger and author who blogged and reported relentlessly from Gaza to the World, in Italian and English. To him, every Palestinian mattered. To the world, they were just numbers. He spent his time as a human shield with Palestinian fishermen who are randomly shot at by the Israeli navy just for fetching food and a source of living. He danced with the Palestinians, sang with the children, received Israeli fire on their behalf. Throughout Israel's brutal onslaught on Gaza in late 2008-early 2009, Operation Cast Lead, he was one of the few, brave voices who wrote down the madness and delivered it for the world to know.

On every single day, my and 5000 people's Facebook timelines would be filled with a story from Vittorio. He chronicled every single bomb, every death, every smile, every good piece of news that happened in the crowded and impoverished strip. On every single day, he risked being the next Rachel Corrie or Tom Hurndall. To find a Palestinian resisting Zionism is normal and understandable, but to find an Italian national putting his life on the line, leaving behind the relative safety and comfort of family and home, to live in Gaza and support its people in every way possible, is an act of heroism. And Vittorio is a hero.

I have always wanted to write this post, ever since I knew him. For some reason I never did. I did thank him in person for his activism, but he had always rejected any kind of praise. I knew that if I had written this post and showed it to him, he would have never read it. I expected him to die in Gaza, in one of the random missiles perhaps. But he has suffered, he has been singled out and murdered. Maybe this was the only way for him to not be a number, to make him known in more parts of the world, to let his voice, his Palestinian voice, be reached.

Vittorio Arrigoni is killed, but Gaza is not. Palestine is not. Our spirit is not broken. Every brave and just citizen of the world will continue to carry out what Vittorio Arrigoni stood up for; a free Palestine. Vittorio lived, and died, for Gaza to be free. We shall see to that, we promise. We will end the siege and set Vittorio's brothers and sisters free.

Scenes from the Egyptian Revolution; a Background

To an outsider it may seem puzzling why a revolution started now in Egypt, but as a keen observer I could see it coming all along, perhaps at a different timing.

Don't get me wrong though, the timing was perfect. Talk about accumulations ... tens of years of accumulations. If you take police brutality as one reason for protests, it has been practiced systematically ever since 1952 against political opponents, though in recent years it has also crushed to death innocent people, even those who have not been accused of any crime. Several high profile cases against policemen have been filed. Still, the source of the problem, the culture of state-induced violence and impunity as well as the emergency law imposed since Mubarak assumed power (not a coincidence), remains a culprit towards dignity for Egyptians.

Let's focus on the last five years. Hundreds of protests, sit-ins and marches were organised by thousands for various political and economic reasons. Because Mubarak and his regime do not have a hint of respect or care for "their" people, they dealt with most of these protests with violence alone instead of diplomacy or any concrete steps towards development. Inevitably this attitude has created vendetta among tens of thousands, mainly downtrodden workers and government employees.

Then the Khaled Said tragedy began. Within a few hours, Facebook pages were created in his memory. At the same time, various political movements organised marches and protests calling for punishing his killers. Through time, the page, created by anonymous, started to shed more light on similar abuses and other regime failures. It has been a haven of debates and most of its fans bitterly criticised this regime. Have you noticed the momentum? Are you watching the snowball rolling? A man gets killed at the hands of policemen, thousands know and are angered, more people get killed the same way, fuelling more anger and frustration, the emergency law which is accused of letting loose policemen on innocent people does not get cancelled still.

A few months after Khaled Said, thousands of kilometres away, a vegetables vendour gets his cart confiscated and a policewoman slaps him when he objects. Hurt and frustrated, he sets himself ablaze, dying a few days later. The self-immolation sparks ever-growing protests calling for basic human rights; bread, dignity, social justice, freedom. No amount of government promises, then sniper shootings and police brutality could quell them. Almost a month later a regime topples and a president flees. This is the Tunisian Revolution.

The Egyptians watched the fall of a repressive regime wistfully. They congratulated the brave Tunisian people and showed solidarity. The Egyptians saw a live and practical example of how to get rid of dictatorship. And it wasn't in the Western "brave new world", but in a country which shares the same language, history, culture and Arab identity. Now was the time to emulate them and let the domino effect work.

Again, within a few hours, the anonymous Khaled Said Facebook page creator called for a "revolution of anger". He succeeded at gathering thousands in "silent protests" before, but this was the first time he actually called upon people to GET ANGRY. This day was the 25th of January, strategically on the government-chosen Police Day, only 11 days after Tunisia's dictator fled. No one expected the response to be very huge. "When you want to slap someone, do you tell him beforehand or do you do it suddenly?" a shop vendour remarked. Luckily, everyone was proven wrong.

In a striking real "remake" of V for Vendetta, then, this anonymous V has been addressing thousands of people via Facebook for months on their rights and sharing with them dreams of prosperity and dignity. Blend all of the effects you may and you can now find the mouth-watering aroma of the revolution. The butterfly effect, the domino effect, the snowball effect.

At one point I said to myself, if Khaled Said hadn't been killed, and his horrific postmortem photos hadn't been published, who knows, maybe this revolution wouldn't be happening. How insane, how ironic, how delicious could it get?

Third Day of Revolts in Egypt - 3

Facebook got blocked today ... violent clashes in elharam street, Giza, with ppl flooding from poor areas to protest.

Friday is expected to be a day of mass protests ... I hope the media focuses on other cities besides Cairo, especially Suez where live ammunition was used against demonstrators leaving at least 4 dead.

In Support of Victims of Torture, Egypt Stands Strong

It will take a long time to process the public scene in Egypt yesterday. Whereas it is true that protests are no longer novel events in Egypt and that the country has been rife with protests for many reasons ranging from political reform to pay rise or even an unfair manager taking over a public hospital, rarely before have hundreds, perhaps thousands of Egyptians decided to publicly grief for the same reason. And it is no trivial reason such as losing World Cup qualifications; to protest brutal murder of Khaled Said at the hands of the police, and torture victims in general.

The Alexandria protests in which public figures such As ElBaradei, Noor and Sabbahi participated (or actually called for, can't tell) were massive. The location of assembly, Sidi Gaber, had been turned into a closed military area. Thousands of riot police were present and even tanks! Now, the Ministry of Interior knows quite well none of the protestors is armed with a knife, let alone machine guns. So the scene of tanks was quite bizarre as well as funny, and some protestors reportedly responded by taking pictures beside tanks and waving the victory sign. A scene from the occupied Palestinian land.

What I want to focus on, however, are the ensuing silent protests which took place in at least eight different cities. The protests have been announced online, particularly on Facebook. It was not one event planned by a certain movement or person. They were multiple events, in multiple places created by a Facebook page for Khaled Said. No one knows the administrator of the page. He or she just asked participants to silently protest in the downtowns of the cities wearing black. The "rules" also included not chanting or holding banners. And so they did, brilliantly organic they were. The young people particpating wanted to protest, but didn't want to get into scuffles or get detained. Not that all people who are unjustly detained are protestors, but so it goes. These revealing protests come after a long time of believing that no matter what we do, no one will listen, nothing will change. But blimey I can see change with my own two eyes seeing yesterday's protests. The Egyptian regime has generated a stubborn generation who swore to stand up against injustice, clearly realising that you do not have to be a political activist to be tortured. And since they didn't know the person calling for the protest, they don't always need a leader. All they need is to witness injustice. The number of Egyptians who are willing to sacrifice their personal safety is increasing, and one reason for this is, again, realising that you are not safe if you "walk next to the wall" as we say. Their act in this context may I say is an act of self-preservation. The regime has been pushing too hard, impoverishing us and slamming us if we as much as utter a moan of pain. They should have seen this coming.

Whereas this public outcry may not necessarily push towards a fair sentence for Khaled's murderers and a change of this system of torture all in all, especially given last Wednesday's phony autopsy report, it signals again a change of public attitude towards regime crimes. You wouldn't hear of a similar reaction 10 or 15 years back, when all our sources of information was government-controlled. But now torture is difficult to hide, and in this incident in particular Khaled's broken skull is screaming at us to stand strong against it.

Egyptians Silently Protest the Murder of Khaled Said

It is a scene I have personally never witnessed before following the myriad of catastrophes that befell Egyptians. Answering a call on Facebook to organise silent protests in Cairo and Alexandria following the gruesome murder of Alexandrian Khaled Said at the hands of policemen, hundreds have taken to the streets silently, dressed in black. They did not necessarily know each other and were mostly non-activists. This is another sign of the spirit of discontent rising in Egypt for many reasons, the last of which was police brutality. It is proof that discontent is not voiced by "a few, outlaw activists" as our government prefers to refer to them, but by virtually everyone in this country ruled by Mubarak and his consort.

The Murder of Khaled Said: Egypt's Waking Nightmare

During the late hours of Sunday the 6th of June, two police informers stormed an internet cafe in the coastal city of Alexandria. The attack left Khaled Said, a 28-year-old man dead.

At that point, the crime could have not made headlines, and could have gone unquestioned like many other police torture crimes in Egypt, but a picture of an innocent-looking, premortem Khaled and another of his body showing a swollen, badly bruised face and mangled jaw, were circulated on the internet, particularly Facebook, like wildfire.

Luckily for systematic torture victims, unluckily for the Egyptian government, the picture sent shockwaves across Egypt, and internationally as well. Amnesty International was quick to urge Egypt to investigate the brutal killing of Khaled. Word was out on AlJazeera too, the Egyptian government's bitter enemy, if you may. On Thursday a group of activists demonstrated in front of the Sidi Gaber police station, the station which sent the informers and where reportedly a police officer oversaw the killing. Puzzling news was spread of an acquittal of the informers and an accusation of protesters of "insulting a government body."

The reasons for the gruesome murder have been questioned, but to date there is no confirmed explanation. The few eye witnesses present first said that the informers asked Khaled roughly for his ID and wanted to search him. When he protested and asked about their search warrant, they tied him up, beat his head against a marble shelf, dragged him out of the cafe and continued beating his head against an adjacent iron door. They then took his lifeless body to the police station for a few minutes, only to return and leave it in the crime scene. Another more popular story was circulated, according to which Khaled had a video dating to late 2009 showing a police officer and a group of informers distributing money and weed after capturing them from a dealer.

The shameless Ministry of Interior issued a phony statement to explain Khaled's death. They said Khaled died of asphyxia after he swallowed a drug joint. Adding insult to injury (in this case brutal murder), they also spread rumours that Khaled, whose name literally translates to "immortal happy", was a drug junkie who escaped mandatory military service. In response, the certificate of the military service was scanned and widely circulated to show that the MOI's side of the story is a badly orchestrated spoof. People on twitter wondered how asphyxia can cause undeniable damage to the skull as shown in the picture. One twitter user, Wael Abd El-Fattah, sarcastically noted that Khaled actually died of Egyptian regime asphyxia. More importantly, even if he is a drug addict, what law or even logic is there which allows beating addicts to death?

The murder became the talk of the country and the virtual community. But activists decided to take it to the streets as well, not in front of the press syndicate, lawyers' syndicate, People's Assembly, Shura Council or Attorney-General's office as has been the norm in the past few years for most protests in Egypt, but in front of the MOI headquarters in Lazoughly. The in-your-face protest of around 200 people was predictably kettled. Downtown Cairo where the MOI is was "occupied by the police" as activists described it. Many activists were verbally harassed, beaten, injured and detained. Mobile phones and cameras were confiscated. They expressed a direct link between the Emergency Law which provides unlimited power to law enforcement authorities and the murder of Khaled. The Ministry has been described as "the ministry of torture", and protesters screamed for the killers to go to trial. Under Emergency Law and the systematic use of torture, any one of us could be Khaled, this was their claim. Apparently, the MOI had expected people to be too horrified by the picture to protest in fear of facing a similar fate, but was surprised by their resilience.

Hopes were hung on a not-very-reliable authority to bring justice to Khaled; the media. Saturday night satellite talk shows showed reports on the murder, but still focused mainly on the MOI statement. On Sunday night, the popular Ashera Masaan showed the video from the police station which allegedly caused Khaled's untimely death. Announcer Mona El-Shazly asserted that the video is authentic, but that it is a celebration of the capture of the dealer, contrary to other views which accused the police of distributing the money and the drugs. Frustratingly enough, El-Shazly did not show the other side of the story and did not report with Khaled's brother. She in other words acquitted the MOI of a corruption case in the eyes of millions of viewers as far as the video is concerned. However, she wondered if informers actually have the authority to arrest people, not to mention beat them up in such a brutal way. Mona's comment poses even more questions on the motives, making it even scarier that Khaled possibly died for no reason at all, not that any reason is acceptable. Instead of dedicating a time slot in her programme to the crime, she interviewed someone about the alleged hacking of AlJazeera world cup satellite transmission.

Newspapers were divided according to their very own allegiances. The government mouthpiece Al-Gumhuriya published yesterday a joke of an article by the editor-in-chief sarcastically describing Sunday protest as a "protest for a junkie." Interestingly, he "accused" the protesters of "gaining strength" from international "authorities." It is an unintentional, subconscious reference to the fact that Egyptian authorities, namely the Ministry of Justice, are often too weak to punish police criminals. Independent Al-Shorouq newsapaper, on the other hand, published balanced timely updates on the crime and the aftermath, as well as the pictures of both life and death, making it impossible for readers to buy the story of the Ministry.


As if it could get any worse, journalist Ahmad Ragab posted on twitter news on yet another death by torture in a police station. The details are all too familiar. Saber Abd El-Semei, 58, protested when informers tried to remove a kiosk for selling sandwiches. He was kidnapped and taken to Nasr City police station. His family found his body five days later in Heliopolis hospital. His daughter was told by the doctors in the morgue that he was beaten with a BB gun on his head until he died.

Ethical concerns were voiced about the spread of the picture of Khaled's lifeless body. Not only because it was probably published prior to his family's consent, but it is also a horrific, shocking picture, unwillingly seen by Facebook users and newspaper readers. The dramatic twist in the story is that, had the picture not been published, Khaled's murder might have received minimum to zero attention, not to mention legal prosecution. Unless families of victims and supporters speak up, this will be the case with Saber for example.

After five tense days of shock, anger and hurt, the first sigh of relief came when blogger and journalist Hossam El-Hamalawy, who was also injured in the Lazoughly portest, tweeted that family lawyers and prosecutors were then investigating the crime scene one day after the Attorney-General ordered the case to be reopened. Thankfully, the few witnesses were present as well to testify.

As expected there are calls for the stepdown of Minister of Interior Habib Al-Adly. Systematic torture in Egypt (as a republic) has been practiced since the fifties. The only development is that whereas in the past it was exclusive to political opponents such as the Muslim Brotherhood, now innocent people are not immune from it. Not even women and children are. It is a cruel regime that can only be cured by being uprooted. We are crushed under the weight of political oppression and poverty and vent out anger among ourselves. Nonetheless, a change of names is not the only answer. Egyptians need to know their self-worth and legal rights. We need to know that save for instances of war and self-defence, no one deserves to be physically assaulted. We now engage in scuffles over everything from a minor threat of a car accident to theft or burglary. Furthermore, even when victims of torture or their families insist on persecuting the police criminals, the sentences are often disproportionate with the harm done. Take the case of Emad El-Kebir, who was sodomised, beaten and humiliated, and in return his bully/policeman Islam Nabih received a fleeting three years in jail sentence and was not suspended from his job. In any case, it is left for the hands of a slow and frail justice system to lessen the brunt of torture in Egypt.

امبارح فجأة افتكرت بنت كانت طلبت مني قبل كده أترجملها مقال كبير، بتاع عشر صفحات، عشان مكاتب الترجمة غالية والصفحة بسبعين جنيه، مش فاكرة اعتذرت ليه بالظبط بس غالباً كان عندي امتحانات أو بحث أقدمه.

مش عارفة ليه افتكرت الموضوع فجأة امبارح وضميري وجعني، مش يمكن لو كنت ساعدتها ماكنتش وقعت في الحالة المادية السيئة اللي أنا فيها دلوقتي؟ كان حيخسرني إيه إني أساعدها لوجه الله، كام ساعة ضاعت مني في فيلم رعب أهبل ولا في تظبيط بروفايل الفيسبوك أو في نوم زيادة، كان ممكن ألاقيلها وقت حتى لو اضطريت أتأخر عليها بس أنا اتغريت وطنشت ومافكرتش الغلبانة دي هتعمل إيه في دراستها، مش عارفة ليه بنلاقي وقت لكل التفاهات، ولما نيجي نساعد الناس وناخد ثواب عظيم الوقت فجأة يضيق والمسئوليات بتبان...

أربعة مواقف قبل بدء عيد التحرش

الموقف الأول:
اليوم السابع نشرت خبر تحرش شاب بسيدة وهي بتصلي في الجامع.
تخيلوا؟
ده عشان اللي بيقولوا إن البنات اللي "لابسة عريان" هما اللي الشباب بيتحرش بيهم والملتزمات "في لبسهم" عمر أبداً أبداً أبداً ما حد بيبصلهم.
يعني يا ربي المكان الوحيد اللي الواحد بيحس فيه بالأمان ينجسوه؟

الموقف الثاني:
المدونة آسر ياسر عاملة جروب على الفيسبوك اسمه "أنا مش هاتحجب وإنت حتتأدب!" وده مش جديد، الجديد بقى إن الجروب اتقفل واتبعتلها رسايل تشتمها وتشتم اللي خلفوها وتخوض في أعراضها وأعراض عيليتها وهددوها إلخ.
السؤال هنا، إزاي حد ممكن يدعو للحجاب وفي نفس الوقت يسب الناس؟ هو مش الدين منظومة واحدة، ياناخدها كلها يا نسيبها كلها، مش ربنا قال إدفع بالتي هي أحسن، وسيدنا محمد (ص) قال ليس المؤمن بطعان ولا لعان ولا فاحش ولا بذئ، يا ترى اللي عنده الفكرتين المتناقضتين تماماً دول في مخه جابهم إزاي ومقتنع بيهم مع بعض إزاي؟ إذا كان بيقولوا إن المش محجبات سايبين جزء من الدين...أمال هما عاملين إيه؟
فين الدين النصيحة، وفين الدين المعاملة؟ وإزاي نستنى من واحدة بتتشتم عشان مش محجبة إنها تحب الحجاب أو تفكر تلبسه؟

الموقف الثالث:
الأهرام ناشرة النهاردة بالبنط العريض إن الداخلية ناشرة بوليس سري لعدم تكرار حوادث التحرش في العيد.
:))))))))))))))))
الخبر ده لو صحيح في ظباط هينفذوا وفي ظباط هيطنشوا، بس كل اللي بيحارب الوكسة دي كسبان، لإن أخيراً الجرايد ادت للموضوع حجمه وأخيراً في أفراد في الداخلية بقوا بياخدوا الموضوع بجدية، الموضوع كان نايم ودلوقتي بقى على كل لسان، وده في حد ذاته مكسب، عشان اللي مش بيديلك حقك لازم تاخده من حباب عينيه...

الموقف الرابع:
الشيخ صفوت حجازي طلع النهاردة في مع الشيخ محمد جبريل...وبيقول إذا كان اللي ماشية في الشارع شبه عريانة بتقول دي حرية شخصية، يبقى اللي بيعاكس برضو عنده حرية شخصية.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
تيجي إزاي دي يا عم الشيخ؟ أولاً خلينا نتفق على نقطة، أنا ماشفتش في حياتي واحدة شبه عريانة غير على الشواطئ، ودي غلطة الفنادق إنها سايبة الموضوع على البحري مع إن أوروبا نفسها في شواطئ العري ممنوع فيها، فلما ييجوا هنا عشان يقلعوا تماماً يبقى إنت بتقوللهم إن مصر مافيهاش نظام ولا قوانين ولا يحزنون. وبعدين هي دي طريقة دعوى؟ إلبسي الحجاب يا إما أي حد يقفش فيكي براحته بقى؟ ده اسمه إرهاب فكري وبيمهد للإرهاب الفعلي بقى...المفروض البنات لما يسمعوا كلامك حيحبوا الحجاب إزاي؟ في الحالة دي حيلبسوه لمجرد إنهم خايفين لكن تصرفاتهم بقى أجارك الله يا شيخ يا محترم.
هو ده بقى اللي بتقولوه للناس في خطب الجمعة وخطبة العيد والأخطر في التليفزيون...لوم كامل للمرأة وكأن الله مأمرش بغض البصر والتحكم في الغرائز...إزاي واحدة عايزة تلبس قميص وبنطلون وتنزل تشتغل أو تشارك في مظاهرة أو تروح الجامعة أو تعمل خير تساويها بواحد صايع ضايع بينتهك حرمة الجسد وتقول عليه حر؟ هو مش أعراض الناس حرام؟ هو مش ربنا خلق المرأة لأسباب تانية كتييييييير غير إنها تتحجب وبس؟ يعني يا سيادة الشيخ لما نيجي نسأل بعد كده هو التحرش منتشر ليه نعرف إن إنت وأمثالك السبب؟

إيه القرف ده؟

هو اللي حنعيده حنفضل نزيده لحد إمتى بس عشان أبقى عارفة
اتفضلوا:
"لمي نفسك يا بنت بلدي" للقضاء على التحرش الجنسي
ده آخر جروب على الفيسبوك للدفاع عن التحرش الجنسي
ما هو اللي يدخل يقول أي بنت لابسة بنطلون وكات تستاهل يبقى بيدافع عن التحرش
واللي يقول اللي لابسة محتشم ماحدش بيبصلها يبقى كداب
لإن في حاجة اسمها غض بصر
وفي حاجة اسمها النظرة الأولى لك والثانية عليك
وفي حاجة اسمها المسلم من سلم المسلمون من لسانه ويده
وفي حاجة اسمها من حسن إسلام المرء تركه ما لا يعنيه
إشمعنى حافطين الآيات بتاعت الحجاب صم ومش حافطين الأحاديث دي؟
ده على اعتبار يعني إنهم بيتكلموا من وجهة نظر دينية
لكنهم لو فاهمين التدين صح مش حيفكروا بالطريقة دي
معلش علم في المتبلم يصبح فاهم
نقول تاني؟
قولوا ورايا
كل واحد حر في لبسه وربنا هو اللي حيحاسب الناس
لبس البنت مش بيدل بالضرورة على تدينها أو أخلاقها
اللي بيبص للبنات أو يتحرش بيهم لفظيا أو ينتهك أعراضهم مجرم مجرم مجرم
وحنوديهم السجن واحد واحد إن شاء الله
كل البنات بتتعرض للتحرش بدون تمييز
اللي بيشوف بنت بتتعرض للتحرش ويسكت أحسن له يغير كلمة "ذكر" اللي في البطاقة
ها فهمنا ولا لسة؟
يا مسهل

كل إضراب وانتوا طيبين

قريت تعليق دلوقتي على جروب الإضراب عالفيس بوك بيقول إن الإضراب نجح بدليل التواجد الأمني المكثف والزيادة التلاتين في المية

الرأي عجبني بس هو طبعا الزيادة دي مجرد محاولة امتصاص لغضب الناس مش أكتر

مفيش حد مستواه حيتحسن عشان زيادة 30% من الأساسي

واحدة زيي بتقبض من الحكومة أخدت زيادة 35 جنيه فقط لا غير لما السنة اللى فاتت العلاوة بقت 15% يبقى تفتكروا الشهر ده هزيد كام؟

أنا متوقعة 70 جنيه

حلو

احنا هاسرق ولا ايه؟

ربنا يستر

ده نص رسالة وصلت لأعضاء جروب الإضراب على الفيس بوك:

قالت فاطمة راشد - والدة إسراء - أمس الأول، في اتصال تليفوني ببرنامج «العاشرة مساء»، إنها تريد أن تسمع صوت ابنتها إن كانت علي قيد الحياة، أو تتسلم جثتها إن كانت قد رحلت عن الحياة، مؤكدة أن ابنتها لا تنتمي لأي جهة سياسية أو حزب، ولم تشترك من قبل في أي مظاهرات.وأضافت الأم: «في آخر مرة شاهدت فيها إسراء داخل المحكمة يوم السبت الماضي، أثناء تجديد حبسها، كانت مرعوبة وجسدها يرتعش، أخشي أن يكون قد أصابها مكروه أو تعاني من شيء، خاصة أنها نحيفة ولا تتحمل الأذي» - وفقاً لتعبير الأم. وأكد أمير سالم، محامي إسراء، «فتاة الفيس بوك»، أنه لم يتمكن من الوصول إلي مكان احتجازها حتي الآن، مشيراً إلي تردد شائعات عن وجودها في سجن القناطر أمس، ولكن لم يتأكد ذلك.اللي يخطف بنات الناس ويبهدلهم بالطريقة دي ملوش مكان الا السجن فعلا دي حكومة الحرامية والارهاب

God. I hate screamers.

Have you seen one of those stupid videos where you are asked to watch intently at a certain video, looking for clues to some puzzle, finding a number of differences between two pictures or simply following a maze, when suddenly a ghost or some crappy graphic image pops up?
Oh God, I was fooled into one of these computer pranks yesterday and I still haven't shaken the image off my back. Mind you, it's a widely circulated video on Facebook's Advanced Wall and similar applications, and it lures you because the front image is that of a man and a woman kissing.
So, as if I've never seen two people kissing before, I was tempted to watch the video. I strangely found myself being followed into what seemed like a maze in an empty flat. I expected the worst, but for some reason I continued watching, and before I knew it, a ghost girl popped up and a loud scream ripped through my speakers!
I quickly hid my eye and jumped into the air. I think I kept shaking for ten minutes. When my breath evened out I was angry. I felt like a victim. It's true I'm a sucker for horror movies, but at least willingly. I watch a movie and I know in advance that this man's head will be chopped off nice and clean. I shake and have nightmares but at least I knew it would happen.
But to be betrayed and fooled in this way...
