Kareem’s Appeals Court: Videos, Pictures; Blogger’s Touching Testimony March 28th, 2007

Blogger Moneer has posted two videos he took inside and outside the March 12 appeals court session for Kareem.

The first video above is quite dim and Kareem is not visible. The judge confirms Kareem’s four-year sentence. Following that, you can hear the prosecuting lawyers’ acclamations and chants of “Allahu akbar!” (English: “Allah is the greatest!”)

You can also see his father about 22 seconds into the video. In addition, about 45 seconds into the video, a woman, possibly a relative of Kareem’s, seems to be wailing and approaching him at the prisoners’ cage.

The second video shows Kareem being escorted to the prisoners’ vehicle. He is dressed in blue prisoner clothing and his head has been shaved.

Moneer also blogs on his experience and feelings from the court session that day: The Darkest Day in Freedom’s History (in Arabic).

After the judge ended the session, I heard acclamations and takbirs [“Allah is the greatest!"]. As for me, I wanted to cry. Yes, I swear I wanted to cry, I was frustrated…

I exited the courtroom, and I saw the [prosecuting] lawyer [Mohamed Dawoud] and his colleagues… I heard them happily say, “Very beautiful years!” [expression of mockery]… As I went down the stairs, I tried holding the tears from my eyes. I became frightened; I don’t feel safe in a country that punishes people for their words. Tomorrow they will punish us for our dreams and thoughts…

Below are some of the pictures he has taken. You can find other pictures on his blog post.

Kareem’s father is searching for his son’s name on the list of sessions to be held that day.

Islamist prosecuting lawyer Mohamed Dawoud, who has lead the prosecution and who previously declared that he is waging a jihad on Kareem.

Prosecuting lawyers are attacking Kareem’s pro bono publico lawyers. The lawyers got engaged in a ‘shouting match’ after one of them shouted to a member of the defense team that he is an “infidel”.
