HONEST PEOPLE GET SENT TO JAIL
You May Think That You Are Okay With Your Life, Your #Investments And Your #Business, And That, As Long As You Don’t #Break_The_Law, You Will Be Fine.
You’re Wrong!
A #Human_Rights Lawyer I Know Once Told Me: “Innocent People Are The Easiest To Frame”.
She Meant That Usually Honest People Do Not Know How To Commit #Crimes, And Therefore Do Not Know Also How To #Protect_Themselves Agains A Government Hell-Bent In Sending Them To Jail (Especially One That Acts Without #Due_Process Or Cause).
In Other Words: #Criminals Are Experts At Protecting Themselves Because They Expect To Be Caught. #Honest_People Instead Do Not Expect That This Will Happen To Them. And When It Does…
Most Honest People In That Situation Simply Repeat These Words: “I Have #Nothing_To_Hide” Or “I Did Not Break Any Law” As If This Would Protect Them.
The Same Human Right Lawyer I Mentioned Above Also Told Me: “People That Say That They Have Nothing To Hide End Up In Jail Ten Times More Quickly Than Those That #Refuse_To_Cooperate”.
Now, Most Of You Are Surely Thinking: “These Kinds Of Things Only Happen With Corrupt Governments In Some Obscure Corner Of Africa… It Will Never Happen In My Country!”
Again, You Are Wrong.
One Of The Latest Instalment Of This Kind Of Madness Comes From Egypt (Which Admittedly Is In Africa, But Hardly An Unknown Corner…), Where A Famous Local Pop-Star, #Sherine_Abdel_Wahab, Got Sentenced To 6 Months In Jail For #Telling_The_Truth.

In A Nutshell:
In Egypt There Is This Saying That If You Drink The Water Of The River Nile You Are Bound To Return There. It’s Kind Of Like Throwing Coins In The Trevi Fountain In Rome Or Any Other Babble Designed To Create A Mystique For Tourists (Rome’s City Council Regularly Cleans The Bottom Of The Fountain And Cashes The Coins).
In This Case The Pop Singer, Speaking To A Fan, Suggested (Jokingly) That It Would Be Better To Drink Evian Rather Than Nile’s Water (Which Is Also True Since The Waters Of The Nile Carry A Waterborne Disease Called Bilharzia).
This Created An Uproar On Internet, Where People Complained That She Had Just Insulted Egypt.
To Recap:
- She’s Egyptian, So She Is Rightfully Entitled To Speak About Her Own Country
- She Didn’t Criticise Anything, She Even Has A Song Celebrating Egypt Called #Have_You_Drunk_From_The_Nile?
- She Was Joking
- What She Told Is True (And Can Be Proven Scientifically)
- The Uproar Came From A Lot Of Morons Who Have Nothing Better To Do Than Gossip
- She Then Got Accused Of “Spreading Fake News” (Which She Didn’t)
And Because Of All This She Was Sentenced To 6 Month Prison Time.
Now, We Are Not Talking About The Actions Of Some Obscure Administrator In Some 3rd World Dictatorship Which May Have Had A Beef With The Pop Singer In Question…
We Are Talking About The Fact That The Public Opinion Of Egypt (Which Should Actually Worry About More Serious Issues…) Managed To Have A #Woman_Sentenced_To_Jail Because Her Sensible Advice “Looked Offensive” (Which It Wasn’t).
