In the impatience felt after the uprising to lay bare the darkest corners of the plan, the records started coming out of the most feared headquarters of the Egyptian state security. There are also many lists of informants infiltrated the bodies of the Muslim Brotherhood as the names of judges who helped to rig local elections.
Even for young activists who knew they were watched, the wealth of information collected about them was a real shock. "It was breathtaking," coward Salma Said, 26, who was part of the crowd that stormed the building on the evening of March 5 to protect incriminating documents, believing that security officials sought to the destroy.
Digging through the records carefully aligned on the shelves of an underground storage room, Mrs. Said has fallen on seven photos taken during an evening that showed her sitting with her husband at a table littered with beer bottles. Reviewing the cell where he was detained Hossam el-Hamalawy confessed on his Twitter account he could not stop crying.
Another online video exploring with relish the luxury suite belonging to Habib El-Adly, the interior minister jailed today, with his cream robes and Mr. Pink Lady, filmed in their bedroom. Like so many other events, the ransacking of the headquarters of state security have caused the Egyptians mixed feelings of jubilation and apprehension about the direction their country might take.
The severe warnings thrown by the Supreme Council of the armed forces - acting - on the need to protect sensitive information have slowed the issuance of documentation, but a sufficient number of them have been published online and in newspapers to arouse 'stir among the population. "We're at a time when we expose what was hidden, but the problem is how it will be used," said Ibrahim Issa, veteran journalist and creator of a new television channel called Tahrir .
"The people are not able to absorb and tolerate what is happening." The Egyptians want us to be accountable about these years of arrests and torture, and found a way to prevent any organization to have the same influence in the future. The number of security officers in Egypt is estimated at a hundred thousand, but the files that are left have so far delivered little of names.
One of them refers to the local judges who participated in rigging the 2005 parliamentary and another evokes a local treasurer of the Muslim Brotherhood which provided information, while a third gives a list of thirty-eight people have spied in favor of the police, including members of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Coptic Church.
The disclosure of these names has caused a debate. "These documents are endangering the lives of many people," warned Khalid Abdurahman Facebook page that publishes the files. "But should we protect the cookies?" We do not know very well who will be asked to account, few people expect the Supreme Council of the armed forces it to implement a Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
The charred pages that flutter in the air currents from building the security of State confirmed the fears of many Egyptians who believe that many details have already disappeared. On the evening of March 5, a garbage truck leaving the Cairo headquarters with a full bucket of shredded documents has caused such a furor among the demonstrators as soon as the crowd forced the dam soldiers and invested the main building, which had been abandoned hastily.
Records show that state security had made frantic activity during the uprising in Tahrir Square, spying on emails from the organizers and those who coordinated the delivery of food, medical and legal advice. The abundance of documents confirming the ubiquity of the security service and its obsession with surveillance.
We discovered a document purporting to record sexual intercourse between a princess and a businessman in a big hotel in Alexandria and another family problems alluded to the grand mufti, the highest Muslim religious authority of Egypt.
