On wednesday, as abdullah walked across the street to the United Nations or the egyptian president spoke, sisi supporters through hot coffee on him. Abdullah elshamy is with us now in new york. Welcome to democracy now what happened . Tell us what happened just yesterday. I was actually trying to get to the United Nations building because i was accredited to go inside to attend the sessions. I had two of my colleagues with me so we were just walking down the street. 40 seven st. There were protests, chinese people, you iranians another people, and suddenly, one of the sisi supporters, a lady, she identified me and started shouting to the others, guys, this is the guy from al jazeera. They started shouting against me. They looked so aggressive, i ked back to where is coming from. Suddenly, i did not actually see the person, but i felt something thrown on my legs and my back. When i saw it, it was boiling coffee. I was asked to disappointed that when we reported this to the police, they said, we cant do anything, because they were not there. When we were showing that clip of president sisi, you mention a lot of the same people around him at the human for their journey mubarak era. Can you talk about that . They say this is a new country, new egypt, yet it is the very same guys who during the mubarak time were supporting all his tyranny and dictatorship. You can change to the system without changing the people responsible for the system. He claims there is freedom and press has a right to do whatever they want, can even criticized him. Are still ingues andon for over eight months many other dozens of journalists are still in prison. You were arrested before they were, held for 10 months. He worked for al jazeera arabic, though you parliament over to english. When were you taken . The 14th of august when Security Forces started cracking down on the protests. 2013. Has a master. I was covering what was happening, just like any other day. I had been covering that since the fifth of july. I actually worked in west africa, but was asked to move to egypt. And you are egyptian. Yes. On that day, the Security Forces made it hard for anyone to leave. I remember they claim there were some kind of warning for people to get out before they started clearing the place, which is not true. At 7 00 in the morning, i was in a makeshift hospital and saw dozens of bodies. At the end of that day when the whole place was raided and there was not any cut of resistance from the protesters, i had to leave. The hospital, it is like a 60 rebuilding. Different from the makeshift hospitals. They stormed the building with guns and weapons and more mostly special forces. To leave anderyone surrender by putting her hands behind her head. Theonly exit was toward seventh district where the protest was taking place. I had to cross to a Police Checkpoint. Checkpoints. O there was a Police Checkpoint and an army checkpoint. When i got close to the army checkpoint, i was asked to show my id to one of the army officers. That is when my detention journey started because i remember them saying, oh, he was telling his colleague, i think i just got a spy because when i saw my passport, because of my work as a journalist, i had many visas. Theys mostly filled up, so thought, we have some of the here. That is when my detention started. Did they ever formally file charges against you during that time that you are being held . About 1000, we were people who were detained that day. Everyone was charged with the same thing, things like inciting possessing weapons illegally, assaulting Police Officers, mostly these kinds of crimes. Actually 15 charges. This was never brought up to a court because theres no kind of evidence. It was just talk about the Hunger Strike that you went on that you launched in prison. After five months of my detention, i felt this was going nowhere. Trying to go through the Justice System was kind of hopeless. Wherewas just the usual every 45 days, they take us as a group of people, almost 300 at one time, to see a judge, who doesnt really listen to us or even our lawyers. Even sometimes when the judge listens, he makes the same decision every time. I kind of lost hope in the hope judicial system. I believed it was a total farce. It lacks any basics of justice. I decided i was going to embark on his Hunger Strike until the world that im a journalist, i have been imprisoned for over five months and nothing why am i in jail . This is what i wanted to say. If ive actually done anything, well, take it against me and put me in jail. But there is nothing. I decided i was starting this on the 21st of january. I knew it was going to be a long wait until i get my freedom back. Of use myng to kind experiences of Hunger Strikers around the world in the last century to give me support. That is why a started a Hunger Strike. Meanwhile, you are being shuttled i can force from one prison to another, held in solitary confinement for a while. Talk about those experiences. Forex i was held in four jails. Prison, notwas a united delta. The i stay there from the 20th of august, 2013, until december the same year. There was a nether prison another prison, which i stay there from december 16 until may 12. The last was a maximumsecurity prison, usually known as the scorpion, for 47 days. The last one was the most painful for me because i was in solitary confinement the entire time and was done allowed to get in contact with anybody and was cut off from the outside world. I want to turn to what you said outside the prison when you were released. This is just after you were freed. This is Abdullah Elshamy. I have won. And everybody who is a freedom worker or anyone doing his has won. This experience has changed my life. Determined than before to carry on with the struggle, not just the cousin of me, but for everyone to be able to do their jobs freely. Willays of Hunger Strike be an expense, of course, i will never forget for the rest of my life. Everyone who is ever done the battle of a Hunger Strike has always won. That was june 17 when Abdullah Elshamy, the al jazeera journalist was released after 10 months in prison. Today you are here in new york, and so is the egyptian president , under whose regime you were held. Government, and before you were held. He has met with former secretaries of state Henry Kissinger and madeleine albright, then he met with former president s clinton and other clinton, secretary of state, who may be running for president. Your thoughts about this and what you are calling on president sisi to do and why youre here in the United States . I am here to lobby for my colleagues who have been imprisoned now for over 10 months. The thing that every official in the United States, starting from president obama or secretary of state john kerry or any other official who kind of leave that sisi is really going to keep up his promises, spreading democracy and preserving freedom of press, should kind of put more pressure on him. I believe this is the only way my colleagues will be out. Pressure has worked in my own case. Ofhas worked in other cases prisoners that were able to get back their freedom. They should do more. John kerry one day before the sentence saying he was giving a firm promise from sisi to keep good records of human rights. And then serve seven to 10 years for my colleagues. Tothe United States wanted do more, they can put more pressure
