* You are not safe. Your life is in danger, as you may drown in the sea, bleed to death on a road or be killed on a bed, if you found a bed! I do not understand the secret behind this lack of interest after Al-Masry Al-Youm disclosed that 25 patients died in Fayyoum Hospital's intensive care in a month due to doctors' neglect and ignorance! Horrible details were also announced by Al-Ahram daily yesterday. The doctors rebelled against the new director because he wanted to impose discipline and pay allowances only to those who deserved them. The doctors got absent under various pretexts and, therefore, the intensive care unit was left with no doctors. Therefore, the hospital administration called in doctors who had nothing to do with intensive care. This led to the death of a large number of victims, who trusted "the angels of mercy" and did not imagine that they were nothing but murderers whose hearts had died, like many things that are dying in my country day!
These killers – and not Magdi Ahmed Hussein [editor in chief of the shut-down ‘Shaab' newspaper and Secretary-General of the frozen Labor Party] - are the ones who should be tried before a martial court rather than disciplinary committees. They deserve to go to jail and to have the emergency law applied on them. Killers may be known to their victims and thieves may reveal their intentions shortly after their crimes, but handing over yourself to who will kill you means that we live in a jungle protected by wolves rather than lions!
* I can not cast doubts on the indictment against the "Maadi slayer", as, according to the information available, he confessed before the investigation after being arrested and then before the prosecution. I do not expect his mother, sister, relatives or lawyer to admit that he is a criminal. All of them may admit in the beginning and then change their testimonies. Who commits such crimes is not normal and it would not be natural for him to tell his relatives about his crimes. But the question now is: if the accused confessed after being arrested that he had committed the crimes at Maadi and Basatin, why has he been detained since January? Why hasn't he been referred to the Public Prosecution? Why was this issue unveiled only six days ago? All these unanswerable questions raise question marks over the indictment and the real answer will end many doubts or open all doors to it!
* After the moderate trend's victory at the elections of the Judges' Club and the defeat of Kefaya movement, opposition parties and the political maneuvers of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) Group, how can we imagine the future of democracy in Egypt while we live under a single party with controversial policies?
