By HADEEL AL-SHALCHI and KARIN LAUB 2011 The Associated Press
The young Google Inc. executive detained by Egyptian authorities for 12
days said Monday he was behind the Facebook page that helped spark what he
called "the revolution of the youth of the Internet." A U.S.-based human
rights group said nearly 300 people have died in two weeks of clashes.
Wael Ghonim, a marketing manager for the Internet company, wept throughout
an emotional television interview just hours after he was freed. He
described how he spent his entire time in detention blindfolded while his
worried parents didn't know where he was. He insisted he had not been
tortured and said his interrogators treated him with respect.
"This is the revolution of the youth of the Internet and now the revolution
of all Egyptians," he said, adding that he was taken aback when the security
forces holding him branded him a traitor.
"Anyone with good intentions is the traitor because being evil is the norm,"
he said. "If I was a traitor, I would have stayed in my villa in the
Emirates and made good money and said like others, 'Let this country go to
hell.' But we are not traitors," added Ghonim, an Egyptian who oversees
Google's marketing in the Middle East and Africa from Dubai, one of the
United Arab Emirates.
The protesters have already brought the most sweeping changes since
President Hosni Mubarak took power 30 years ago, but they are keeping up the
pressure in hopes of achieving their ultimate goal of ousting Mubarak.
Ghonim has become a hero of the demonstrators since he went missing on Jan.
27, two days after the protests began. He confirmed reports by protesters
that he was the administrator of the Facebook page "We are all Khaled Said"
that was one of the main tools for organizing the demonstration that started
the movement on Jan. 25.
Khaled Said was a 28-year-old businessman who died in June at the hands of
undercover police, setting off months of protests against the hated police.
The police have also been blamed for enflaming violence by trying to
suppress these anti-government demonstrations by force.
Ghonim's whereabouts were not known until Sunday, when a prominent Egyptian
businessman confirmed he was under arrest and would soon be released.
Time and again during the two weeks of demonstrations, protesters have
pointed proudly to the fact that they have no single leader, as if to say
that it is everyone's uprising. Still, there seems at times to be a longing
among the crowds at Cairo's Tahrir Square, the main demonstration site, for
someone to rally around.
The unmasking of Ghonim as the previously unknown administrator of the
Facebook page that started the protests could give the crowds someone to
look to for inspiration to press on.
Whether Ghonim forcefully takes up that mantle remains to be seen, but he
said repeatedly in Monday night's interview that he did not feel he was a
hero.
"I didn't want anyone to know that I am the administrator," he said. "There
are no heroes; we are all heroes on the street. And no one is on their horse
and fighting with the sword."
The show commemorated some of those killed in the protests and showed their
pictures during the interview, sending Ghonim into sobs just before he got
up and walked out of the studio.
"I want to tell every mother and father: I am sorry. I swear it is not our
fault. It is the fault of everyone who held on tight to authority and didn't
want to let go," he said before cutting short the interview.
Ghonim looked exhausted and said he had been unable to sleep for 48 hours,
but not because he was being mistreated.
He said he was snatched off the streets two days after the protests first
erupted on Jan. 25. After he left a friend's house, four men surrounded him,
pushed him to the ground and took him blindfolded to state security. He
said he spent much of the following days blindfolded, with no news of the
events on the street, being questioned.
In contrast, he said, in his release he was treated with respect. Just
before he was freed, he said, he was brought before Interior Minister
Mahmoud Wagdy — installed only days earlier in a government reshuffle — in
his office. The minister "talked to me like an adult, not like someone of
strength talking to someone weak" and then the new head of the National
Democratic Party escorted him home.
"This is because of what the youth did in the street," he said in the
interview on private station Dream 2 TV.
He said his interrogators were convinced that foreigners were backing the
movement, but Ghonim asserted it was just young Egyptians "who love this
country." He also sought to debunk the government's accusations that the
outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, Mubarak's most bitter rival, was involved in
planning the protests.
He referred to his arrest as a "kidnapping" and a "crime" but also sounded
conciliatory, saying "this is not a time for settling accounts or cutting up
the pie; this is Egypt's time."
He did forcefully place blame for the country's ills on Mubarak's National
Democratic Party and said the good among them should abandon it and start
something new to earn the people's respect.
"I don't want to see the logo of the NDP anywhere in the country," he said.
"This party is what destroyed this country. The cadre in this party are
filthy." | y***l
