Ahmed Abu El-Gait is suing famous Egyptian TV host and member of NFC Hamdi Qandeel for libel.Abu El-Gait is angry from what Qandeel wrote from two weeks ago in his op-ed at Al Shorouk newspaper , it seems that the minister reads for the famous opposition icon.
Qandeel wrote an op-ed where he criticized as usual Mubarak and his regime. There is no mention for Abu El-Gait except in the end when he said the following :
Before our fall the ambassador of Egypt in Israel assured that he is not staying in an enemy state denying a statement where the FM described Israel as an enemy , and he would not deny except if the statement was not spelled by accident from the minister's mouth from which words spell out as trash spell out from a garbage bag.
This is a strong tough comparison for sure but let's agree that the statements of Abu El-Gait are provoking and do not suit a diplomat but rather a thug who will cut the leg whoever crosses our borders !! I understand how angry a Nasserite Nationalist like Qandeel is from Abu El-Gait but I can't blame him because this man did not do any good to our foreign policy
Honestly I do not know why Abu El-Gait is angry from Qandeel , this is not the first time he is being attacked or criticized , in fact others criticize and mock him harshly like for instance Gamal Fahmi in Al Dostor !!
Is not this action against the freedom of expression the Mubarak regime claims to protect !!??
Hopefully insh Allah he will lose the case.
" the minister's mouth from which words spell out as trash spell out from a garbage bag."
ReplyDeleteRegardless any political views,it is extremely impolite to write that way about any person even if not a public figure ,esp.that Qandeel is not a young journalist or a beginner to fall into sucha mistake. Honestly, if it were me,I would have sued him as well.
