An Egyptian protester acknowledges the role of social media, picture by Awais Chaudhry
The audience in Dubai considered the Facebook case to be a freedom of expression concern, but an Egyptian official would have presented the event in a very different light. Esra’s arrest took place amid an ongoing national crisis. According to Joel Beinin, director of Middle East Studies at the American University in Cairo, over the past two years, Egypt has been experiencing the “longest and strongest wave of worker protest since the end of World War II.”[1]
Hi, this is Mona from Cairo, I just wanted to let the world know that we have been disconnected from our last point of communication through the Internet and there’s a strong word going around that we will again be disconnected from mobile phone calls. So, I wanted everyone to know in case you don’t get any feedback from what’s happening tomorrow, and I didn’t want anyone to worry about us.
They did this before, the only difference is the last when time they did this I was completely freaked out; I was so scared that they were going to shoot us all and nobody would know about us. This time, I’m not scared at all, I feel as if, like, I want to tell them ‘bring it on!’ We are excited, we are happy, we are going to be in Tahrir Square tomorrow, we are going to be huge, and we are going to do our march and do our protest and Mubarak is going out.
[sigh] Be with us! Bye bye.
