Do you remember James Buck,the American photographer and journalist who was detained by the Egyptian Police for covering the Mahalla clashes last month ?? Whom the whole world spoke about when he used the bless of Web 2.0 aka twitter to send a SMS message to inform the whole world that he was arrested !! James was one of the few voices from outside that stood beside us sincerely , you all know that what happened in Mahalla was not covered outside as it should be.
Anyhow James was freed immediately after the interference of the American Embassy and he had departed the country and despite that the Media secretary in our consulate in San Francesco tried to let's say explain the misunderstanding that happened in Mahalla ,still James did not abandon the case as we say in Egypt .
In fact James involved more and more especially when his Egyptian translator Mohammed Maree is detained up till this moment for no good reason at except that he was with James and was doing his job translating from Arabic to English in when he was arrested !!
Maree was transferred to Borg Al Arab prison in Alexandria and despite the general attorney cleared him from all the charges ,he is still there and there are news that he was tortured .
This is unfair and is against the law , already I do not know what Maree did to deserve all this !!
James now made a blog that till now is focused on Egypt. Here is the link ,please visit it
I wonder why he never covers in his posts, the violations of the freedom press when it comes to the Facist American- sponcered cencorship of all press reports about the Iraqi resistance against the dual American-Iranian occupation of Iraq!?
