Saturday evening late Shaimaa El-Sabbagh’s party issued a very alarming statement on its official Facebook page related to the official investigation of her murder.
According to the Socialist Popular alliance party’s statement the prosecution investigating El-Sabbagh’s murder has ordered the detention of Zohdy E-Shamy , the vice-president of the party as a suspect in her murder despite he came forward as an eye witness.
El-Shamy already participated in the rally. His photo walking besides Shaimaa while she was collapsing created huge controversy as some accused him of indifference while others looked to the photo on how the old generation ignored the suffering of the young generations.
Interestingly Pro-military Egyptian conspiracy theorists on Facebook accused the veteran leftist of killing Shaimaa.
Interesting Anti-Military rule grassroots movement “Askar Kazaboon” made a video analyzing all the footages and photos taken during the murder of Shaimaa referring to the alleged murderer of Shaimaa from the central security forces dispersing the rally.
Back Zohdy El-Shamy , the 60 years old man is like the acting leader of the leftist party as its leader veteran leftist Abdel Ghafar Shukr is currently sick. Actually Zohdy El-Shamy himself is sick and got a heart disease too !!!!
By the way the Socialist popular alliance party along other pro-revolutionary parties like Constitution party and the Egyptian Social Democratic party announced that week that they may boycott the upcoming parliamentary elections next March if the current minister of interior Mohamed Ibrahim is not dismissed , the protest law is not amended, political prisoners are not released and a transparent
I think at least the Socialist Popular alliance party will not participate in the upcoming elections after finding out that its acting leader is accused of killing its prominent member !!!!
One can debate the voting power of those parties , nevertheless these are the Non-Islamist Pro-Revolutionary parties in Egypt representing youth. El-Sisi needs those parties to show the world the revolutionary youth of 25 January revolution are not oppressed.
By the way security authorities refused to let the Socialist popular alliance party hold the memorial service of late Shaimaa in the iconic Omar Makram Mosque twice last week.
Shaimaa
On Friday Shaimaa El-Sabbagh’s husband artist and painter Osama El-Sehely published that video about his late wife. I will not comment on it because there is nothing to say about it.
Earlier Thursday a group of women organized a small stand to protest the murder of leftist activist Shamiaa El-Sabbagh in the same spot where she was killed. There was a lot of fear and concern because that stand did not take any permission or authorization from the ministry of interior. The protesters , all from women stood with floors and banners with the photos of Shaimaa El-Sabbagh , Sondos Abu Bakr and the young men from Mataria who all have been killed during the anniversary of the 25 January revolution. The protesters included renowned liberal and leftist activists like Dr.Laila Soueif, Sally Toma, Mahinour El-Masry , Singer Simon and TV host Reem Maged. The protesters chanted against the military rule and the ministry of interior like Down with the military rule, The ministry of interior is thugs, Hey Ministry of interior did you forget January revolution or what ?, down with the military rule ; Egypt’s women are red line.
Nevertheless the stand at Talaat Harb square ended peacefully after a group of Pro-Sisi supporters appeared from no where suddenly and stood on the other sidewalk facing the other protesters chanting for the ministry and Sisi..etc.
By the way the ministry of interior claimed in the media that the security disperse the stand. Well the security did not disperse but the protesters ended it peacefully. By the way after the end of the stand , a low ranking policeman came gathered all the photos and photos left at the scene !!
Here is a slide show for the stand.
Here are video clips showing the stand.
You can see leftist activist Mahinour El-Masry leading the chants. Mahinour was a friend to late El-Sabbagh.
And here is a video showing the Pro-Sisi supporters.
BY the way the mainstream media especially Pro-Regime TV channels are attacking Shaimaa and activists demanding her rights crazily. This hysteria reached to the Pro-military supporters who are attacking popular Egyptian comedian Ahmed Helmy who presented his condolences to the families of both army’s martyrs killed on Thursday in North Sinai and Shaimaa El-Sabbagh. It is just crazy and sad.
According to the Socialist Popular alliance party’s statement the prosecution investigating El-Sabbagh’s murder has ordered the detention of Zohdy E-Shamy , the vice-president of the party as a suspect in her murder despite he came forward as an eye witness.

The prosecution released El-Shamy after receiving the national security's investigation reports. He is no longer accused of murder but he is accused of illegal protesting which means he can face three years in jail !!!El-Shamy already participated in the rally. His photo walking besides Shaimaa while she was collapsing created huge controversy as some accused him of indifference while others looked to the photo on how the old generation ignored the suffering of the young generations.
