"These young people will outlive their executioners"

The executions that the coup general Sisi in Egypt ordered, as if carrying out a massacre, from judges who work like executioners under his command have added very interesting, instructive scenes to the history of Egypt's struggle for freedom and dignity. In these scenes, the young men who walked with honor and heroism to the death to which they were unjustly sentenced, beyond dispute and quite clearly, set the tone, while the evident wickedness of those who killed them, and of the judges who put the judiciary at the disposal of a criminal regime, has also been recorded.
Each of the young men has a story that sears the heart on the one hand, and a personality that radiates light around him on the other. Already their stories and their bright characters have begun to pass from tongue to tongue.
No one doubts that the 9 people executed had nothing to do with the incident attributed to them. Everyone sees as plain as day that the whole trial process was, by means of the state's resources, a preparation for a murder. There was no truth expected to emerge from the trial. The judges did not care about justice in the slightest anyway. The only thing they cared about was to hang as soon as possible the very young lads against whom a murderous verdict had unjustly been issued.
It is clear in every respect that the death of the young men had been decided long before the murder of the prosecutor general of which they were accused, and that they were specially chosen to be killed. One of the points that draws attention is that they were all chosen with a balanced distribution from different regions of Egypt.
Another distribution that draws attention is that each of them came from a different faculty of the universities. But one thing that united them all while they lived is that they were all well-educated young men with leadership qualities among those around them, and of course another is that they all went through the same process of torture to make them confess to a crime they were accused of.
One of these young men, Ahmed Taha Wahdan, who is also the son of Muhammad Taha Wahdan, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood's Guidance Bureau, says in his farewell letter to his daughter Leila, who was born a few months after he entered prison: "My daughter Leila, know that your father committed no crime or sin. All my dream was to protect you and to reach a homeland where you could be protected, not of course such a great prison in which you will live. Forgive me for not being able to take you in my arms and kiss your pure forehead, but I will wait at the gate of paradise, where no one can separate us and there will be no farewell." Ahmed Taha could see his daughter only twice, from afar, during his three-year detention.
Ahmed Mahrous, one of the 9 young men and a student at the Faculty of Engineering of Al-Azhar University, also swears in his farewell letter, calling God to witness, that he did not know the prosecutor general Hisham Barakat, whose killing he was accused of, and that he had heard his name for the first time.
In our last article we set out the typology of Sisi's executioner judges. These are the typology of the martyrs. There is no doubt that these slain will outlive the judge-executioners who sentenced them to death. It has already become clear that they will also live longer, with greater renown, greater respect and greater honor than the dictator who gave the order to kill them.
It is also very clear that behind all these murders of Sisi, who had them killed through executions as a kind of Khashoggi murder, there is a deep fear. The moments when he is strongest and displays this violence that costs people their lives are in fact the moments when he is at his weakest, his most cowardly, in a desperation in which he risks murders in order to flee his death.
Just like the Pharaohs, just like the Pharaoh who "slaughtered the male children" of the Children of Israel, who were slaves in those days, in order to escape the end foretold in the prophecy. Yet even slaughtering the male children could not save Pharaoh from the expected end.
Sisi massacred at least 3 thousand people in the Rabaa square in the most savage ways possible before the eyes of the world. The "democratic, civilized West," which does not call "a coup" his having overthrown at gunpoint an elected, legitimate president who had appointed him as defense minister, did not change its tune even when he killed so many people holding defenseless, unarmed, peaceful demonstrations in one day with such savagery.
France has just signed 30 agreements with him. To tell the truth, while signing, Macron also supposedly gave Sisi a message by linking human rights violations to Islamic terrorism. But there was no reason for Sisi to take offense at this message. Because this discourse was already one that Sisi himself resorted to in order to whitewash and market his own crimes. Macron, with the agreements he made with Sisi, was also giving a promotion on top.
Now Sisi is killing, through court procedures and executions, those whom he could not kill in Rabaa square.
Thus the "Khashoggi Murder Model" stands out as the official practice of Egypt as well.
Let us see when the civilized world will see the Khashoggi-style murders in Egypt.
