I couldn’t believe my eyes when I watched the video of beating and stripping Hamada Saber nude in the street by policemen, as I thought this kind of practices has come to end after overthrowing the former regime. In fact, all Egyptians were shocked with his statements about being tortured by the revolutionists. But they were more shocked as he claimed police has nothing to do with this, and that he was stripped nude and was beaten by the demonstrators themselves, despite the video that shows policemen doing this in a brutal way.
Only then, I felt that the former regime has never been overthrown, and we still under Mubarak's regime and his brutal Interior Ministry. I felt like we’ve never had a revolution. Maybe he had to do this after he was threatened by killing or at least kidnapping one of his children.
Many Egyptians are frighten to death just like Hamada. Before the revolution, they were like being sentenced to death of poverty and humiliation. Therefore, they participate in demonstrations near the presidential palace, not knowing that they would face physical death there, as demonstrators were beaten, stripped nude and killed.
Hamada felt dead while he’s still alive. He was scared to death, and decided not to tell his story to the public. However, his video told the whole world that the regime in Egypt is so corrupted like a Mafia, and their lying is limitless.
Mr. Hamada, thanks for exposing this regime and for changing your statements in order to tell the truth about their violations. You have told your story about the police that have tortured and stripped you nude in the street. You was dead before, but now you may live, and Egypt as well.
