Sorry, I am late tonight.
Tonight we know how Sheikh Mansour began a very important chapter in his life,a chapter that would change his life completely. BY the way,one Egypt’s famous old drama stars, late Gamal Ismail was among the stars of the 8th episode of the Radio’s Arabian Nights.

BY the way the old audio player is back to the blog as I received complaints about the other HTML5 player in the mobile version.





And so Sheikh Mansour earned more and more money from the wicker bags he made using his
chemical mixture to the level that he got a lot of money, to the level that he decided to open a Spices shop selling spices from all over the world. 

Sooner his shop got bigger and bigger till became a big agency with several branches. Sheikh Mansour became the Shah Bander of traders in El-Gor city. 

At the same time his wife was dying to have a child, he was searching for the legendary spices land which nobody was able to reach. In One of the temples in the city of  Sanga, the wise Sheikh found a star map that would enable him to reach to that land through an Astrolabe and watching the skies. And the time came and the stars aligned in their correct position according to the old map

 It was the perfect time to head in an adventure to the legendary spices land despites all the myths about its dangerous seas full of monsters and strange creatures. 

Mansour was not scared to the level he decided to go in a fleet of ships opening the door for other traders. Despite her fear, Mansour headed in his adventure leaving his wife behind.

I do not know what to do but we have to keep the noise for both photographers Shawkan , Esraa Mahfouz and Peter Youssef as much as we can for the sake of their health.
Shawkan , Esraa and Peter 

According to Freedom for Shawkan official Facebook, Mahmoud Abu Ziad aka Shawkan’s health is deteriorating rapidly as he is infected with Hepatitis “C”. He got it before his detention.
Shawkan
He is also suffering from anemia and lack of proper health treatment in the prison. On Thursday, Freedom for Shawkan Facebook page published a letter from Shawkan which he wrote from behind
the bars in Tora prison on 21 June. 
In the letter, Shawkan slams the decision of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s decision to pardon 165 detainees from youth arrested in protesting-related charges. Shawkan wonders why he was ignored in that presidential pardon when most of the detainees are released turned to be Pro-Morsi supporters and members of the Muslim Brotherhood when the regime attacks the Brotherhood day and night designated it officially as “Terrorist organization”. He also says in his letter 900 people were arrested with him during the dispersal of Pro-Morsi Rabaa sit-in and that almost all the member of the Brotherhood arrested with him were released , the prosecution is insisting to keep him and more than 300 others since then behind bars. Shawkan does not understand why the regime calls the MB members “terrorists” and releases them when it insists that he should stay in jail.
The freelance photographer calls his colleague from journalists to stand together to restore their rights.


رسالة شوكان الجديدة من "تُرَب طُرة" للصحفيين .. لا تكونوا كالثور الأبيض الذى أُكل يوم أُكل الثور الأسود!!أصدرت الرئاس...
Posted by Freedom for Shawkan on Thursday, June 25, 2015
Shawkan is still detained pending investigation.
According to a CPJ report issued on Thursday , the Egyptian authorities managed to break a record now and is holding the highest number of journalists in Egypt in jail the Committee to Protect Journalists has recorded since it started to follow the situation of journalism in Egypt in the 1990s.
Moving to Qanatar women prison, Freelance photographer Esraa Mahfouz is in a real danger to return back to the wheelchair and to lose her ability to walk normally once again after a year and half of successful physiotherapy.

في الزيارة ..اسراء بتقول لو فضلت شهر كمان منغير علاج طبيعي هتشل تاني والتعب الي فات في العلاج هيكون عالفاضي ، اسراء بت...

Esraa had a daily session of physiotherapy, now after nearly a month her family is concerned. Not to
mention they are concerned more that their daughter is kept in detention along with criminal detainees accused of drugs and prostitution
According to Lawyers, Esraa is detained pending an investigation in State security case No.485 while her friends Sohip and Omar are detained pending investigation in military case No. 174. Yeah, those kids are facing hell.
The three friends 
Back again to Torah prison, 21 years old Peter Galal began to lose his sight due to the lack of medical treatment in jail. Galal was sentenced three in jail for illegal protesting after his arrest along other protesters last year when they organized an anti-protest  law rally near the presidential palace.
Peter Galal
I do not know what to say, but I wish those young detainees should be treated like Mubarak's cronies. Actually those guys should not be in jail in the first place.

We continue the quest of Sheikh Mansour and his journey to the Wonder Spices Isles and land that one reached before in our 9th episode of our tale “The Cursed lady’s Wall”.
Now before we go and know what happened to Mansour there is a very important announcement I have to make.
Gramafoon Online Radio service is coming be back again very soon. Yes it will be back online in the upcoming Eid

It is coming back online without any comprises to the government. More details will be revealed online.
Now to our episode.
By the way some friends say that the old player does not show up in iPhone and iPad’s Safari. To be honest I do not know which player to use and so I will post both players tonight.


After seven days in the sea , Sheikh Mansour managed to reach  the first island in Spices lands and
isles to find it inhabited by pygmies who gave him the spices he wanted. He returned back to the city of Gor to become even more and more richer. One day , a member of the royal family decided to sell his palace by the sea to Sheikh Mansour because he was the richest man in the city. Prince Zaatar was in a deep financial trouble and Mansour agreed to buy the famous palace known in the city as Al-Nour Palace. On the same day he bought the palace, his wife told him that she was pregnant and thus came Nour.
That was the tale of Sheikh Mansour as he told it to his only son Nour.
Now the father was proud of his son who found a job horse saddles maker , he told him that he would leave him to work in his modest job for one  year before joining in his big trade and work.
