At a time when the great Egyptian society overthrows an undemocratic political system that fails to respect the freedom of citizens to express their opinions and closes the windows for participation in choosing who to rule them, the Egyptian human rights arena is witnessing a growing trend that turns against all the values and original human rights principles contained in the relevant international instruments The Egyptian human rights movement called for it and supported it throughout its history since the mid-1980s. We received with great concern and surprise what the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information did in launching a website called Lists of Shame, on which it published a list of those whom it called “media professionals, artists and public figures who challenged the will of the Egyptian people. And supported the regime of the deposed Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak, “While we express our rejection of this behavior and this discourse in classifying people and confiscating their right to express their opinions and political affiliations - even if they do not agree with the opinion of the majority of citizens who took to the streets demanding the overthrow of the Mubarak regime - it is in At the same time, it denounces what the Arabic Network has done to name Egyptian human rights civil society organizations that have had an influential role and not Hood has been in the service of human rights issues for the past five years, and it has never been known about her commitment to anything other than professional rules and international instruments for the protection of human rights, in addition to what is confirmed by the publications of these organizations, their statements and their official positions regarding the complete and complete bias towards the demands of the demonstrators and revolutionaries who took to the streets from January 25 until Now we are called upon to bring down the regime and undertake legislative, political and economic reforms to create a society of democracy and social welfare and with the assurance that these organizations do not need to defend themselves against this irresponsible behavior by the officials of the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information, which clearly contradicts the network’s orientations calling for respect for freedom Opinion and expression and those who condemn the network and its officials and do not condemn the intended organizations. This behavior of the Arab Network reveals that its official discourse is affected by the political positions of some of its leaders, which contradicts the professional rules and basic references of organizations concerned with the improvement and protection of human rights. On the other hand, we call on the Arabic Network and its director, Mr. Gamal Eid, to apologize for this professional failure first, and to apologize for the talk of dissolving the right of the reputation of human rights organizations and activists, about whom only bias towards the right of the citizen is known, and to reconsider his ability to separate his orientations and convictions from professional practices For the human rights entity that manages it Third In the end, we emphasize that this treacherous behavior issued by the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information is reminiscent of the takfiri discourse of some jihadist organizations in the 1980s and 1990s, and certainly we will not be able to build the society to which they all sought, and for which the blood of the martyrs of the January 25 Revolution was shed without putting End to such speech.
