Will do say whether this up next we look at the case of our correspondent man were to say hes been in prison in egypt now for over a year without trial a bit later. One of honesty. Ian im the one. With the world to listen and i dont want to stop. Most of them because your company wouldnt finish college thats because theres you know. My mom. Because you know so i have to know not. Only. Are the most up in the. Corner and i. Believe god is going to. Be. There and remember one moment of the year i mean much more to feel. Part of a high temperatures that are going to vary here the letters are various so now we have acquired. When i was wired a hammock when i was in arms i mean. What the majority i mean if there were as i mean more leisure after i made a model. For the bottom of the matter what are your constant amoco for me to russia what it was in the army. Let me out if all that would look at your. Mom would have been. A lot. And. So i. Had to. Make them in a mobile home and this is what about the only one some second over the. He developed the elements again a fish value of the alyea. Machine which might more than offer the. South from the thought a. Different scene was arrested in cairo on the nineteenth of december twenty sixth seen. I am up to me and i also work well ill just so his situation speaks to me directly because i was arrested in cairo in twenty thirty and. I spent three hundred and nine days in an egyptian jail and while i was there i wrote my thoughts down on scraps of paper. My moods case brought everything flawed in back. Like mahmood i could see no end to my detention and i took the dramatic step of going on Hunger Strike for five months to draw attention to my case and try and regain my freedom. I can remember the loneliness and how slowly time passes. To date mahmoud has had no cold herring so there are no formal charges against him. And im going to start feeling. Nothing but within that one can your question i think how do i swallow my it how was he is it off was that a happy outcome bad going to happen. But i won the quest. For sane arrived at Cairo International airport early on the morning on the nineteenth of december twenty sixth. He was arrested detained for fifteen hours at his passport confiscated but was then released. The following day he went to egypt in state t. V. To make an administrators request but he was told this. Quite approval by Egyptian Security officials. Two days later on the twenty second of december twenty sixth seen for seign was detained in an unknown location. Then two weeks later on the fifth of january twenty seventh seen istanbul he was told it was being held in poor a prison south of cairo. I didnt want to put up a. Little more and im also. Ahead of. What you. Lot of. Lety but the thought was that if. One. Arabic and other media broke the story of husseins their arrest. That. The Egyptian Interior Ministry released a statement accusing the same of carrying out and inciting a Media Campaign aimed at what they call spreading chaos. Journalist is guilty until proved innocent look i thought much of you dont have money enough in the. Minimum and. You know. I want. To know. Whether the and. That if you know its going to be a. It will be. A little bit of a little younger religion than one of the muslim brotherhood. When i. Had the. This will be a. Little bit of. A national he didnt really. Get into the middle of the year. And she. Well it is never the. Less. As i know to my cost Mahmoud Hussein is not the only working journalist to be challenged or detained in egypt. When it comes to Media Freedom egypt is rated very low indeed by International Human rights groups. In egypt. The state is pretty much employing all of the tools that we see repressive regimes around the world employed to restrict have expressed all at once so there is direct intimidation harassment arrest of human rights defenders and journalists and activists. Torture and mistreatment of these individuals once theyre arrested in their detained. Reporters without borders is an International Organization monitoring Media Freedom. In twenty seventeen it published a press freedom in bags a league table of Different Countries on the a treatment of the media and journalists to get drunk to egypt number one hundred and sixty one out of a hundred and eighty and the black list of countries considered what they called prisons for journalists national might be how much. Was that the woman in ireland how wonderful book life given that the. As of. A scene one thing about why i think is enough for you i had. In the absence of any judicial process the Division Media set to work on the case of Mahmoud Abbas saying. T. V. Channels launched an intensive Media Campaign against a former colleague. Mahmoud had once worked as chief correspondent for the government run now t. V. Channel. One can barely hey before the on the line. From what was it back in the leno these sort of possibly a bit to see it unfold often but never. To say a false messiah how many. Of them have been on. Thank you no. Was. Are you treating. Me to go with. Them and want to give you know around the hoard. Of the most of the. More. Than a second fiddle with a. Comedy touch me. For. What i. Mean thats a tough one cause some. More. Of them are living. Given lots of very good family a lot of the film was really i think the teen was. Young. Daughter for same is studying for a mass is agree in parents. Who decided to visit their Reporters Without Borders in the french capital. What i can learn. As. The huffy any. Man if one excellent mama and maybe ohio dont be. Be. Sworn in in their mad. A i dont believe in it she shouldnt. Be dumped rama anika noni out there were a no no. It had to lean. Back in doha i talked to move to say school leaks at aljazeera arabic. They are no formal charges against him so we only have the allegations by the Egyptian Interior Ministry and the campaign and the media which accuse him of spreading false news. I ask that all dizzy represent would walk with him in the field and in the news room if this was at all likely. Because. You know that they have they didnt they hear a lot of men who are not out of the other way get out of and so are all muscles that will sort of a mark what was. It that it and the quote in the interest. Why the hummer. I let it go how will we have that infinitely yet doesnt matter i said. But thats the time and let this is a thirty minute meeting. The International Federation of journalists is the Largest Group representing the profession why. It was founded in nineteen twenty six in paris but relaunched in belgium in nineteen fifty two it now has around six hundred thousand members in one hundred forty countries. Saying a media is not. Trust for two you have to describe facts one. Publish false information or Incorrect Information once again if you accuse someone you have you have to show what and when. Allegedly spread false information and check if they didnt correct the information afterward. Lets not go into about that as you have the more data you have it. But lets get back in melbourne a man. Shall not. Have the be and. That of defeat that. He. Went to him and that he. Was the woman. They were going and it will be after they sort of learned so many the middle just a few bullet but the most. People have even could have been more so but man it will but man. I. Know you.

It always has been. As innovation in technology continues to shape our lives. Pioneering content creation and distribution utilizing Cloud Technology and artificial intelligence.

You know your. People how to get any today. What im. Really. I asked the former chief justice of the city office if it was legal to the team i would be saying much seemingly indefinitely absolutely of the. Fealty you have could not. Feel well below if you look at i mean. There was a bit of i do. We have no information about the reason of his arrest and the woman was informed that the. Last december if i remember it was the first. Suspect we didnt know what exactly was told to both his activity which would explain why he was detained and when you do time someone without clear explanation its a breach of. Rights. Which case screamed repression here is an individual who was a journalist who was not even actively reporting at the time he was arrested even though that would have been his right to do. He was targeted because of his affiliation with a Media Organization with aljazeera and arrested and detained without any due process whatsoever that is that i ask the judge about whats called preventative custody and why mahmood had not been released after a given period of time. Hold that. If you have it has. To go. And i think. About that but i. Also feel. This is a. Method of. Doing i. Saw you are just going to let you know. If you dont you can assure you. That it comes to that i. Said. It was the eleven percent. Mostly. The hard. Core of them was a year at the nearly. A year. Of. The most of. The have. And. Have the only. Phone. I wanted to get the view of the Egyptian Union of journalists. Had. But failed to get through. To the Supreme Council for media regulation. Since my come from a definite as i have it apart. By a blanket i can limit any into. Which i could get them. Help. Then ask if they demanded more true leads on health grounds. As. I read. Them. And more cool. Would you get this total of three. Of our most of all they got a mother. Here we get forty seven i can now and then you and. He has you know when you gender joinery says in the tech approach freedom and freedom of expression which doesnt mean joinery storable of the los we have every citizen the duty to respect closer came not steal or kill someone we dont know any reason but what threats what happened with what we called the criminal criminalization of journalistic work namely you describe their work as a crime and this is in the tech press freedom.

Luck in the skin in the hand on a few months in the senate i thought my whole thought had. Been the well been more than one of them out. In the. View that in the home. And. Mother. We had the media we had done what he said that. We could have here to harm. And that the camelot. Im not going to have any. And i will ask how it. Is immediately from. Jimmy and they say that what it was in the me that i mean if it is at the theater. Or what. And look at the shot then they have a more than a mostly. A c a c that c. S. E. Had been asked imitate they said they had. More than lost any time and that they. Emerge for many. Voices in the International Media concert and has done it by working on a very independent two way in the sense that they dont depend on National Governments so i can imagine their way. Here are reported to about egyptian. Military was not welcome for the government because they couldnt have any pressure on this. Model though we have. Had this and know if you got a hold of the muslim on muslim world. You know. You have a minute there at the marble confusing. Several agencies have asked the Egyptian Government to explain why i met with the same has been detained without trial. And in february twenty eighth team the un called for his immediate release. So we wrote letters as soon as he was detained to the egyptian president mr. Member soon brussels because. Its close to the g. O. P. s and we do know that the fact he was jailed in the snow was asked why precisely our colleague was detained we received no answer from. These we wrote those letters to United Nations you know. Mr berg. By that time to be known as the fact and the United Nations warry i wont. Press Freedom Situation in egypt engineer a little bullet. And was not that there. Was a could have because i like. One of them. But at the. Other. When i look for the deal of. Possibility. But one of them are. In mahmouds case the one that we presented to the United Nations working group on arbitrary detention we requested that that working group. Analyze my case declare him to be arbitrarily detained under International Law and egypts International Human rights application immediately release him under the least restrictive means possible and to let him exercise his right to freedom of movement and reunite with his family and go where he may the root can to be human rights organizations petition says mr hussein has been arbitrarily detained for One Hundred Twenty Nine days including eighty nine days in solitary confinement he continues to be subject to grave prison conditions and possible abuses the continuation of such deprivations of his rights constitute serious threats to mr husseins health to his physical and psychological integrity and to his life accordingly we request that the working group transmits an urgent appeal to the government of egypt by the most rapid means possible on behalf of mr hussein. Because i. Mean. Living with him. Because he might but its. A. Little funny if. I thought it was important to make one attempt to speak to the head of the egyptian Supreme Council for media regulation or mohamed to ask him about Mahmoud Husseins. And. If you must stick with. The machine you must be. Going to get the kind. Of stuff must ignore whom. You must. Have been the messiah. And i said hes going to does it. And he said im. Very. Pleased. With it since.
