It's been four months.
Four months since they were plucked off the streets simply for voicing an opinion other than the one the government held. AUCians Abdullah Ghandour and Abdelrahman Boghdady have been detained by the current regime under ridiculous charges such as 'blocking traffic'. As trial after trial gets delayed and postponed, our fellow members of the AUC community, our fellow students and Egyptian, are not only missing the semester but their entire lives put on pause. And that, of course, is only the minimum damage done.
Abdullah Ghandour is a computer science major; Abdelrahman Boghdady is a mechanical engineering student. Both were active members of the university community and both have been unjustly detained and stripped of their rights.
We ask that you sign this petition as the simplest way to show that you reject unjust arrests and want the boys home.

I have spent this week drafting formal letters to legal representatives and human rights organizations regarding the ongoing delays in the trial process. These documents outline the specific discrepancies in the charges against Abdullah and Abdelrahman to ensure our case remains clearly focused on the facts.

I understand a charge such as blocking traffic but being detailned for 3 months is too much. The punishment should fit the crime if there was even a crime. And there should be proof of the crime not just arrest we khalas. Last but not least there isn't even a bail amount or anything. .m. I thought those things stopped. Are we back to random arrests again?
Let's see the government make distinctions among the people it arrests. These young men will be needed in Egypt once they get their degrees.
A regime that arrest people just because they have a different opinion than its opinion is a weak regime
let the youth continue their education, and let them express their opinions freely . release them and make use of their energy and intelligence
They have the right to speak their opinion and no one should be held for more than two month for practicing his rights with no logical charges
free the egyptian youth

Abdullah Ghandour & Abdelrahman Boghdady and many others are the faces of liberty and the continuous fight against tyranny.
