Police officer who video-shot “hunting” protestors eyes was
cleared!
Sayeda Zainab police officers accused of murdering the
martyrs were cleared!
Mubarak endless trial!
Whoever
follows the news of the legal aspect of this revolution will always be frustrated.
Between the cases which were built really weak and the cases that lacked
professional legal assistance, a lot of cases were dropped someone between the
papers in people’s memory as “Do you even believe in Egyptian Judiciary System?
”
Problem with
such cases is not the revolution. It’s that very simple fact that when human life is intentionally taken away, there
has to be consequences and the state – any state – is responsible for proper
investigation and making sure someone is blamed and punished – legally of
course!
Such justice
is not a political demand at all, it’s pure social one.
Does anyone
seriously expect a father who lost his son, had to run between morgues, to
finally find his body with whatever bullets poking his body, to shut up and
forget about it?
Do you think
a brother will be able to go on with his life when every time he sleeps he has
to see his little brother hot body in some morgue on the floor, and to remember
that he had to run between offices to be allowed to bury him?
Is it even
possible?
Is it fair?
Is this
stability?
What would
happen when each one who lost someone decides to completely lost belief in our
judicial system? When everyone finally realizes that if you want something
right to be done, he has to do himself?
When I call
for fair trials, it is not about the political battle. It is that I am praying
to God someone in this country wake up and see that unless murderers in this
country get locked, we are looking ahead to a bloody war… and no one will be
able to stop it!
Justice is
not about revenge, it’s about keeping the outlines of a safe societies where
law is what defines everything. And fighting for justice is fighting for peace.
I don’t want
to see Egypt 20 or 30 years from and watch the war between sons of police
officers – and military for that matter – and sons of the people who were
murdered!
Forget your
political affiliation for a minutes and think of the ramifications of clearing
a police officer whose videos shooting people were all over the internet?
On what
wishful high hopes do you think someone will forget that?
Or do you
prefer it the other way? His photo with the word “wanted” all over the country
and he has to either hide forever or leave for good!
Even if someone breaks the law, he has rights!
Yes, and these rights are not questionable or depending on our modes and how we
see things.
He breaks the
law, he gets arrested by the law, investigated by the law and tried by the law!
Even if he
resists arrest, there is a law for that. You warn for few times then if you
absolutely have to do it, you just prevent him by shooting his leg,
…not his eye,
…not his
chest,
…not his
chin!
If we want to
protect this country from a civil bloody war, we all should pray, work and
advocate for justice to be served!
