Irish Teen Fears Execution in Egypt

StewartGriffin

Whatever is the truth behind this case it highlights yet again the pathetic quality of Irish journalism. What happens to these guys/girls when they get out of college that they are so happy to conform to the message of whatever media outlet they get their wage from? Surely there must be some with more spine who dream of going against the grain and breaking a story that will make a difference? Is Paul Williams really the best we can do?

Irish-Egyptian family are 'not political' insists older sister. 'All they did was hold up their cameras to film the protests....' she claims. Asked in an interview this week if they were supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood, Nosayba said they were not. However, she told RTé they were supporters of the deposed president and Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi, because he was the democratically elected president and stood for freedom.
"All they did was hold up cameras to film the protests, because two of them were students of digital media. They were trying to show that the demonstration was peaceful."

Your last sentence is pretty ironic. Trying to paint amnesty international as racist

Does Egypt have a right to enforce its own laws and judicial systems.

Does the possesion of an Irish passport mean that holders of such a passport can act with impunity in Egypt and not have to deal with the consequences, as they are immune from any action ? That the laws of Egypt do not apply to holders of an Irish passport. That Egypt is run by corrupt simpletons who are incapable of running a judicial system. That's what Amnesty is stating. ( I didn't include all of their quotes ).

THAT'S RACIST BUDDY.

If a country conducts mass trials, political executions and basic internment without hope of a trial for years then yes they should be called to account.

As for whatever about the clap trap around an Irish passport enabling someone to break the law.... Well that is patiently rubbish and I won't waste my time.. Care to answer why you are desperate to paint Ibrahim Halawa as non irish

And that's all she wrote on this thread. Since my last warning here (less than 24 hours ago) there have been many more reported posts, images from a passport put on thread, claims of racism, a round and round discussion of place of birth and the same points iterated over and over and over and over and over and over again.

The discussion has gone nowhere on this thread. If more information comes to light, then we can look at re-opening this thread.
