Press syndicate Head, Abdel-Mohsen Salama let the press community down by abandoning his duties as defender of free press in Egypt. Salama, who is close to the security circles, showed no respect for a position previously occupied by press luminaries including Mahmoud Abul-Fatah, Mohamed Abdel-Kader Hamza, Fekry Abaza, Ahmed Kassem Gouda, Hafez Mahmoud, Ahmed Baha Eddine, Kamel Zuhairy, Yussef al-Sebaei, Salah Galal and Makram Mohamed Ahmed. The defeatist Salama left all journalists into the lurch as he seemed unable to take action against the crime of confiscating al-Bawaba Newspaper issues for the second day in a row without any reaction except humiliation. Salama, an idol at the press syndicate headquarters, failed to release a statement condemning the confiscation of freedoms of opinion and expression in Egypt. It is a real tragedy that no journalist has ever imagined. Salama's bias to the Interior Minister, who failed to save the lives of Egyptians, will never prevent such a disgrace from hunting him forever.
