Wael Abbas ({{lang-arz|وائل عباس}}, {{IPA-arz|ˈwæːʔel ʕæbˈbæːs|IPA}}) (born 14 November 1974 in Egypt) is an internationally renowned Egyptian journalist, blogger, and human rights activist,[1] who blogs at Misr Digital (Egyptian Awareness).[2] He reported an incident of mob harassment of women, and broadcast several videos of police brutality. His actions led to the conviction of police for torture, but he has been harassed by the Egyptian government, and his accounts with YouTube and Yahoo were closed. YouTube has since restored his account and most of his videos. Facebook had deleted Wael's account but it has since been restored.

Accounts shut down by YouTube, Yahoo, and Twitter

In September 2007, his YouTube account was shut down.[1] All the videos he had sent to YouTube were no longer available. They included videos of police brutality, voting irregularities and anti-government protests. About 12 or 13 were of violence in police stations.[3] He was shocked by YouTube's decision.[1]

Yahoo had shut down two of his email accounts, accusing him of being a spammer.[1]

Human rights groups said that YouTube was shutting down a useful source of info on abuses in Egypt just as the government was increasing its crackdown on independent and opposition journalists.[3] Twelve Egyptian journalists had been jailed between September and November 2007.[3] Elijah Zarwan thinks that it was unlikely YouTube was reacting to official government pressure.[3]

YouTube initially restored his account but not his videos, and said that his account was blocked because he failed to provide sufficient context about the violence.[4] 187 of his videos were subsequently restored.[5] Abbas has posted on his blog that Yahoo has restored his email account.[6]

YouTube stated Abbas was banned "because the context was not apparent."[7] The statement did not clarify whether they decided the missing context warranted the prompt ban, or whether the missing context misled them. It did conclude that Abbas should upload "with sufficient context."

In December 2017, Twitter suspended his account for violating its rules, but did not specify which rules had been broken or indicate whether the suspension was temporary or permanent.[8]

Arrest

In the early hours of 23 May 2018 Abbas was taken by police from his home to state security offices, where he was charged with “involvement in a terrorist group”, “spreading false news” and “misuse of social networks.”.[9]

Guest appearances

  • Abbas was a guest panelist on The Doha Debates' episode broadcast on BBC World News on 13 and 14 November 2010. The motion was: This House would prefer money to free elections. Abbas was against the motion and he won the debate.[10]

Awards and honors

  • In 2008, Abbas turned down an invitation to meet with U.S. President George W. Bush.[11]
  • Abbas was announced the winner of a journalism award by the International Center for Journalists,[1] on 24 August 2007.[2]
  • He also won the Human Rights Watch's Hellman/Hammett Award 2008.[12]
  • Abbas was named Middle East Person of the Year 2007 by CNN.
  • He was considered one of the Most Influential People of 2006 by BBC.
  • He won the Egyptians Against Corruption Award 2005/2006.
