i am living here some good days i know they would not last ,i have with me the activists that was detained during
the 6 avril strike in Egypt ,they are people like me they are educated and believers for some values and they are figthing for these
values ,some of them are out now and the others are waiting for being released
sometimes i am thinking why they came here with me to the same place ,is that to make me more sad when they will leave
me alone in that dark place

this is the first time since i was in prison that i met people that are close to me intellectualy
but they will be released soon and i will be lonely again.

i wish i could be out from here ,everytime when i saw people leaving that prison and go back their homes , i am saying
when it would come that day that i could leave the prison as those people, i didnt do anything to be here
and for so so long
since i am detained i never felt that i did a crime ,their punishment is not effective ,the prison never changed my mind
and it will never change my mind .

I got 2300 messages from everywhere , i feel so happy everytime i am receiving a letter , i feel that people
didnt forget about me ,sometimes the prisoners here when they want to bother me they tell me
that people forgot about me ,but when i look to all these messages that i have in my cell, i dont care about what the prisoners
are saying because i have the concrete evidence living with me here in my cell at the prison
i wish i could be out from here
