Thousands of Iranian Lion and Sun flags were held up by Iranian Pahlavi-supporters during yesterday’s game between Iran and New Zealand in Los Angeles.

The fans had to smuggle in the flags as FIFA had banned them

Remember his name.

Hating Israel shouldn’t make you support the Islamic Republic of Iran. If you truly care about human rights, start by opposing both, hope that helps

Manipulation at its finest

[Free Alaa @FreedomForAlaa]

Responding to historic tweets, Alaa today says:

"I am shaken that, just as I am being reunited with my family for the first time in 12 years, several historic tweets of mine have been republished and used to question and attack my integrity and values, escalating to calls for the revocation of my citizenship.

Looking at the tweets now - the ones that were not completely twisted out of their meaning - I do understand how shocking and hurtful they are, and for that I unequivocally apologise. They were mostly expressions of a young man’s anger and frustrations in a time of regional crises (the wars on Iraq, on Lebanon and Gaza), and the rise of police brutality against Egyptian youth. I particularly regret some that were written as part of online insult battles with the total disregard for how they read to other people. I should have known better.

Looking back I see the writings of a much younger person, deeply enmeshed in antagonistic online cultures, utilising flippant, shocking and sarcastic tones in the nascent, febrile world of social media. But this young man never intended to offend a wider public and was, in the real world, engaged in the non-violent pro-democracy movement and repeatedly incarcerated for calling for full equality, human rights and democracy for all. Today, this middle aged father firmly believes all our fates are entwined and we can only achieve prosperous and safe lives for our children together. All the initiatives I’ve led reflect this.

I must also stress that some tweets have been completely misunderstood, seemingly in bad faith. For example, a tweet being shared to allege homophobia on my part was actually ridiculing homophobia. I have paid a steep price for my public support for LGBTQ rights in Egypt and the world. Another tweet has been wrongly interpreted to suggest Holocaust denial - but in fact the exchange shows that I was clearly mocking Holocaust denial.

I take accusations of antisemitism very seriously. I have always believed that sectarianism and racism are the most sinister and dangerous of forces, and I did my part and paid the price for standing up for the rights of religious minorities in Egypt. I faced a military tribunal and imprisonment for defending Christians in Egypt falsely accused of violence.

This weekend was supposed to be the first time I celebrated my son’s birthday with him since 2012, when he was one year old. I have been imprisoned in Egypt for almost his entire life for my consistent promotion of equality, justice and secular democracy. That included publicly rejecting anti-Jewish speech in Egypt, often at risk to myself, defence of LGBTQ rights, defence of Egyptian Christians, and campaigning against police torture and brutality - all at great risk. And, indeed, my freedom was stripped from me for these defences of human rights. These values are core to my identity.

It has been painful to see some people who supported calls for my release now feel regret for doing so. Whatever they feel now, they did the right thing. Standing up for human rights and a citizen unjustly imprisoned is something honourable, and I will always be grateful for that solidarity. I have received huge empathy and solidarity from people across the UK, enough to win me my freedom, and I will be forever grateful for this."

@paulfranci38370 @DillyHussain88 And yet your government still supports muslim brotherhood! We have jailed them in egypt yet countries like UK and Qatar still give them money

[youssef @yabolyazeed_]

@Ansemble1 @t_adblack @DillyHussain88 Who is we, i dont think you’re even Egyptian. So no you arent allowed to recite quran in our museum! If you want radical islamist , go to aphganistan

[youssef @yabolyazeed_]

@Yemenson33 @RAtrebi @DillyHussain88 You’re obviously the dumb one, he is part of muslim brotherhood, he is reciting quran because they think its haram to visit the museum, his choices of verses to recite too is questionable. His actions had motives so no, he should be jailed for long time in order to deradicalize

[youssef @yabolyazeed_]

@HavocAdrian @uddin_ftse @DanBurmawy @Bushra1Shaikh Yea, it’s eternally oppressive and only one who like and support it are the people who have never lived under it. Just like the saying ‘ people who love communism the most are the ones that never had a communist government’

@RaginnBull @Bushra1Shaikh Okay sharia didnt criminalize slavery, so lets go back to having slaves.

@YennyOnRoll @BrotherRasheed Putting one of them in power (even if its a not so powerful position) is a step closer to getting them to presidency of a nuclear armed country! Its bad, really bad
