Political activists said the imprisonment of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and his two sons, pending further investigation, offers an opportunity to restore confidence between the public and the military officials who are governing the country.
Abdel Meguid Mahmoud, the public prosecutor, ordered the detention of Mubarak Wednesday (April 13th) for 15 days pending an investigation into charges of inciting attacks on demonstrators during the January protests. Mubarak's two sons Alaa and Gamal were also detained for 15 days pending an investigation.
The arrests were announced in a statement issued by the attorney general. The statement added that a report by a medical committee indicated the former president ''is suffering from health conditions that require transfer to a hospital for medical care during his interrogation. Therefore, the Attorney General decided that he should be kept in custody and interrogated at the Sharm el-Sheikh International Hospital."
Alaa and Gamal were flown in a military plane from Sharm el-Sheikh to the Tura prison in Cairo after being interrogated at a court in the city of Sinai.
A number of former senior officials were sent to Tura prison on charges of corruption and misuse of public funds including former chief of staff Zakaria Azmi; the President of the People's Assembly, Fathi Sorour; the Shura Council Speaker Safwat El-Sharif; the former Interior Minister, Habib al-Adli; former National Democratic Party leader Ahmed Ezz; and the former Ministers of Tourism and Housing.
The January 25th Youth Coalition announced it will cancel protests next Friday, which were intended to put pressure on the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces to expedite the proceedings against Mubarak, his family, and former senior officials.
The coalition said Wednesday it decided to "reconsider its decision to suspend dialogue with the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces", which it had announced on Sunday after the clashes in Tahrir Square last week between the army and demonstrators. One person was killed, and 71 were injured during the clashes.
Nasser Abdel Hamid, a member of the coalition, told Al-Shorfa, "The coalition welcomes these actions out of faith in the administration of justice, including the provision of all guarantees of a fair trial for Mubarak, his family and others who were involved in violations of the rights of Egyptians."
Abdel Hamid said the coalition will continue to exert pressure to achieve all the demands of the revolution, notably an announcement by a fact finding committee that investigated the events of Saturday in Tahrir Square, the release of all political prisoners, the abolition of military trials for civilians, the dissolution of local councils and the National Party, and the return of all its offices to the state.
Activists said the suspension of demonstrations in Tahrir Square in the coming weeks, and the return of national political forces to the dialogue table with the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces would restore stability to the Egyptian street. Tensions flared during the past two weeks because of the failure to start trial proceedings against Mubarak and former senior government officials.
Abdul Jalil Mustafa, co-ordinator of the National Assembly for Change, said there is no room for fear anymore from the remains of the National Democratic Party. He added, "The people must have confidence in their national political forces and the army which has proved day after day its ability to protect the revolution and achieve its full demands."
Mustafa said the National Assembly for Change supports the continuation of demonstrations in universities to demand the dismissal of university leaders affiliated with the former regime who contributed to corruption in the universities.
Anwar Esmat el-Sadat, founder of the Reform and Development Party, said the decision to hold Mubarak accountable should have been made immediately.
He said, "The desire of the responsible authorities to collect proper evidence and documentation to present against the corrupt individuals was the cause of the delay." He said the decision to imprison Mubarak marks the true beginning of a revolution towards reform and development.
El-Sadat added, "The revolution succeeded in mobilising all Egyptians to oppose corruption, and this is the first step toward building a modern state." He added that this would provide for political stability prior to the next parliamentary elections that are scheduled for September.

Every father loves his children and teaches them what they need in this life and does his best in order to achieve their dreams. However, the president should have thought thousands of times before oppressing his country and people. He also swore to achieve the interests of the country, but he did not honor this oath. He should have taken a stance against his children and deterred them when they asked him for something that is not lawfully theirs. If they did not respond, he should have resigned as a lesson to them.

Gamal and Ala' Mubarak made many mistakes. In fact, they have committed bad things, given their authoritarian influence during the rule of the former Egyptian president. Yet, their political life contained many humanitarian acts which they carried out in order to solve many social problems of some Egyptians. In addition, Ala' took an interest in soccer, and this had a great and clear impact on Egyptian society. Furthermore, he restored the honor of youth centers in different Egyptian villages and provinces with his great support, in order to advance and develop them. Besides, he sponsored hygiene projects in the Egyptian capital and worked on embellishing its neighborhoods by asking businessmen for support, so that the capital will present a beautiful image that fits its importance among the world’s capitals. Ala' also joined many Egyptian human rights voices that condemn torture in police stations and prisons, in addition to solving many other problems of Egypt and Egyptians. These problems were solved by the former president’s sons through their humanitarian efforts by rendering them national projects and campaigns that serve the benefit of Egyptians. In addition, Ala' adopted an honorable and courageous stance concerning the Sudan crisis. This stance caused Egyptians to sympathize with him and support him significantly.

It is very strange to see some people rejoicing because Mubarak and his two sons Gamal and Alaa are in prison and will go to trial soon. However, this is wrong, because after all, they are Egyptians and we should have the spirit of tolerance. We should leave them alone or even investigate them just to know what happened, because Hosni Mubarak is an Egyptian and he was the leader of our country for many years.

I want to highlight the achievements of the two sons of Hosni Mubarak, Alaa and Gamal in our country. They tampered with the country's money and their names have become known everywhere. Egypt, this great country, became as if it were their property. They are a symbol of decadence, corruption, bribery and abusing the law there, where each one of them ruled Egypt in his own way and imposed control on what he wanted to in the country. After all this splendor and control over the country and its people, they are now in jail and under investigation for all the crimes they have committed to gain money illegally, as well as theft of the state funds and attacks against citizens and youth, and other crimes. Those two villains, Alaa and Gamal, were dealing with people arrogantly and protected themselves with the emergency law passed by their father Hosni. Gamal was preparing everything to take over the presidency after his father, without holding honest and fair elections. But thankfully the Egyptian people are aware and patriotic, and they came out to reject staying under the command of this corrupt family, which had ruled the people unjustly over the past years. The Egyptian judiciary should be sincere in judging these criminals and hold them accountable for every crime they have committed, because they have had no mercy on the people. Gamal and Alaa and all unjust people have to know that this is the end of the unjust and of anyone who oppresses the innocent people.

Today, Egyptians are looking forward to imposing the deserved sanctions on members of the former regime. Among them, Gamal and Alaa Mubarak have been imprisoned due to their financial corruption. Besides, they claimed the lives of demonstrators who were expressing their opinions peacefully during the Egyptian Revolution that toppled the corrupt regime. In fact, this regime caused people’s suffering by repression, tyranny, hunger, poverty, diseases, unemployment and bad services. In fact, this government took an interest only in collecting money and dominating the country’s wealth through theft and the abuse of power. This is in addition to the organization of parties in order to preserve their life of luxury. Today, most of these members are in prison, such as Alaa and Gamal Mubarak, who are accused of illicit financial gain and abuse of power through stealing public money. Besides, they have killed demonstrators. This will lead to bad consequences. And this is the just punishment of the oppressive leaders. In fact, people have elected these rulers in order to achieve justice, fairness and equality according to the Islamic teachings that call for taking interest in people. Thus, these leaders will be punished for all their practices against people. This is according to the Prophet’s saying: “Surely! Every one of you is a guardian and is responsible for his followers. The Imam, i.e. ruler of the people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects; a man is the guardian of his family, i.e. household, and is responsible for his subjects; a woman is the guardian of her husband's home and of his children and is responsible for them; and the slave of a man is a guardian of his master's property and is responsible for it. Surely, every one of you is a guardian and responsible for his followers.” Thus, rulers must show compassion towards their people, like their compassion towards their children.

I think that all the events and problems taking place in Egypt are due to some members who tried to exploit their authority and power in order to carry out their brutal operations against the poor Egyptians. Besides, Gamal and Alaa Mubarak have caused this corruption and evil. And they have led to poverty, famine and backwardness. Thus, they have committed many crimes against Egypt and the Egyptians. May God curse them and their operations, because they have damaged this Arab country. In fact, they have been robbers and oppressors, and all the Egyptians know that. However, the Egyptian people have tried to end their tyranny because these two criminals have carried out all kinds of terrorism against people and even against some officials. Thus, Gamal and Alaa Mubarak are among the worst and most corrupt people. And may God curse them due to their suspicious operations that have led to the deterioration of the country’s economy. People have been suffering due to Gamal and Alaa Mubarak’s exploitation of their father’s authority. In fact, they have stolen the country’s wealth. So may God curse these despicable persons who have carried out dirty operations stemming from the dirtiness of their regime and party. May God send them to Hell so they will taste the humiliation that they have caused to Egyptians. And I curse Gamal and Alaa Mubarak, due to their despicable operations, especially since they have no conscience, because they have been dirty people like their father. Today, I am happy about the arrest of Gamal and Alaa Mubarak, who have been imprisoned in order to get their due punishment. And their destiny must be the “Dustbin of History,” because they have no ethics, honor or loyalty to their country. Thus, they must spend the last days of their life in prison. May God curse them due to their criminal operations.

Gamal Mubarak and Alaa Mubarak deserve punishment because they engaged in many acts that negatively affected the Egyptian people. They deserve prison and punishment, and to be held accountable according to the law, because they were involved in looting, plundering and robbing the money of the Egyptian people, who suffered a lot of pain in addition to their suffering from unemployment, corruption, poverty and hunger. These have caused the spread of many aspects of underdevelopment, corruption and ignorance. Both the sons of former President Hosni Mubarak, Gamal and Alaa Mubarak, failed and brought destruction and harm to the Egyptian families, ignoring the injustice, dictatorship, failure and neglect against the Egyptian people, who did not have anyone to stand with them or consider their complaints. What happened was the continued injustice, tyranny, corruption, and the dereliction of duty towards the nation and the people of the homeland. Gamal Mubarak and Alaa Mubarak deserve punishment because they are accused of negligence, theft and leading a luxurious life, while the Egyptian people were suffering from hunger, corruption, poverty, unemployment, lack of health and education services and dereliction. They also suffer from the state being divided into two classes, the rich class, which lives luxuriously by exploiting the poor, and the toilers; and this class is characterized by the spread of corruption and extreme poverty in the way they live. The second class is the class of the poor or destitute, who earn their daily living with great difficulty, and those people may not find subsistence for their families. This may lead them to sacrifice their honor. The spread of corruption is a result of the fact that a lot of people are deprived of earning a living, and this causes them to resort to other, unfair ways to make a living.

Alaa and Gamal Mubarak are Egyptian heroes, because they stood with the Egyptian people and supported them at some point. It is shameful for the Egyptians to quench their thirst for revenge in the plight they are facing now, because they are Egyptians and they do not deserve all these dirty tactics. The Egyptians should remember that history records everything, and they are all going through the same situation.

I am very happy, thank God Mubarak and his sons will finally be a lesson to the rest of the Arab leaders who are still in power. They must know that destiny is in the people’s hands. Thus, if the leader hasn’t worked properly during his regime to serve the country and people, his destiny will be like Hosni Mubarak and his son Alaa. In fact, these villains have stolen people’s money and rights. Thus, Egyptians are suffering from a shortage of projects, corruption and abuse, due to the regime of Hosni Mubarak and his sons, who have stolen people’s money and projects. In fact, they thought that they would stay forever, and they forgot that everything comes to an end. Thus, this pharaoh and his sons didn’t respect the people’s wishes. That’s why they have revolted against them. Today, every citizen can revolt against the regime of Hosni Mubarak and his sons, especially since this is one of their basic rights. Thus, it is important to punish them due to these corruption issues, crimes, and torture in prisons. This is in addition to the repression of demonstrators before the fall of the corrupt regime. We have to regain the money from the state treasuries.

I do not believe it. This is something that the Egyptian court has to prove to the Egyptian people by providing clear evidence, so that everyone would be clear on this issue and so that there would be justice. This would lead to the two sons of the former president, Hosni Mubarak, Gamal Mubarak and Alaa Mubarak, getting their fair punishment. Also, all the money stolen from the possessions of the Egyptians has to be reclaimed. Retribution has to be made against those two people. But when it comes to corruption, it is up to all those who have been harmed by it to file lawsuits against Gamal Mubarak and Alaa Mubarak, so that there would be cases against them in order for them to be questioned in the light of these lawsuits. This way, our conscience would be clear concerning them, because what happened to them is the ultimate punishment and torture that God has sentenced them to, as they went from being the sons of the president of the state to being two accused suspects who are being questioned and punished overnight. It is the duty of the Egyptian government to work on this.

Yes, of course, because they were interfering in everything, manipulating companies and projects, and taking a percentage from each project or any investment in Egypt, as they became tyrants and there was nobody who held them accountable; they did whatever they wanted. They should be held accountable and punished, and the money they have stolen from the country’s treasury, the companies and others, should be returned, because they reached the epitome of corruption, and they were the greatest reason for the spread of corruption in the country.

I wish that this man, who was accused by all people of corruption in collaboration with his retinue, based on unequivocal evidence, would contemplate his money, his office and all his massive abilities, after the death of his grandson, to realize that these things can never delay death or buy health. He is helpless in the face of the power of God. OK, he could admit his mistakes and deficiency and give back the rights to the people before the humiliating stance before God on the Day of Judgment and in front of all people. If you really fear the King of Kings and the One who never dies, you must do that, because those who defend you today will not carry your burdens on the Day of Judgment. Human law can protect you in this world, but who is going to protect you from God, who never sleeps... where are the factories and farms? Where were you during the war? He claims that he fought alone, while the whole army was playing. You allege that you pledged to serve the people and do such and such, while you have been humiliating the people. You have neglected the role of the shepherd and official before God, Who will hold you accountable for what you did. Did this happen without your knowledge? Congratulations, you are a genius. All people steal and you do not notice them, but you have a share in it. There is no escape from the punishment of God for you and your children. I call on the lawyers, who are ready to defend the criminals, to read the hadith in which the Prophet, peace be upon him, said, “By God, if Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad stole, I would cut off her hand.” Please read the opening verse of Surah of Al-Nur. I call on the honorable and moral lawyers who fear God and adhere to the religion to remember that God ordered us to be merciless with the adulterer or the adulteress; so what about the one who contributes to bloodshed, theft, destruction and aggression, let alone the spread of greed, arrogance and tyranny? What about those who left the country in darkness, bankruptcy and unemployment? What about the terrible suffering of the people? You will not escape the punishment of God if you defended the criminals while you realize that there will be death agonies and the grave and strict reckoning. None will benefit you, whether Hosni or otherwise.

It is really astonishing to find a man who does not think that he will die and therefore does not care to judge himself regarding what he did to his subjects. What will his answer be when God asks him about what he did to his people? In such a case, you will be doomed to hell and you will be in the bottom of the fire for what you did. Where are pharaoh, Moeris and Sharon? You were the Sharon of the Arabs and the pharaoh of the modern time; do not blame anyone but yourself, because no matter how much you weep, God will not forgive you. And when you think about asking for forgiveness, you have to ask 83 million people to provide you with a document saying that they have forgiven you, to place between your body and the shroud when you die, to give it to God, when he asks you about oppressing your subjects. However, you will never find a young child or a woman who has lost her husband, or a wife who went to sleep at night without having dinner, or a young man or young woman who tried to marry and adhere to chastity, but they could not find a house or money! I wish you had done what Umar ibn Al-Khattab did when he displayed the document that proved that a woman had forgiven him for not taking care of her, or like Umar ibn Abd Al-Aziz, who spent the money of the exchequer to help those who need to marry, and he even put wheat in the desert, to allow birds to eat. Finally, I hope that justice will take revenge upon you, in such a way that satisfies God and soothes the hearts. In addition, you will always be accursed, along with your children and even grandchildren, until the Day of Judgment.

This is the most important thing today. I have a small note: I think the general prosecutor should not put the officials of the former regime in prison, but he needs to keep them away from the families of the martyrs and the Egyptian people. Putting them in prison is comfort for them, it is not confinement.

I also feel for every child that was deprived of his father, brother, or sister, who were not guilty of anything. I feel pity for all those who were deprived of their rights. Are people less valuable than Mubarak? Mubarak and his sons and officials are being tried fairly and for their crimes that they have already committed.

In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the ever Merciful. “Think not that God is unaware of what the wicked do. He but gives them a respite until a day when eyes will stare in terror, as they come hurrying on in fear, their heads upraised, their gaze returning not to them, and their hearts as air.” -Quran 14:42-43

Mubarak will remain under the provisional detention until he dies. Why do you delay the just prosecution of Mubarak?

We do not want the Coalition of the Youth of the Revolution to speak in the name of the people any more, because they do not represent us. We want the prosecution of Al-Adly and all those who were responsible for the death of the martyrs, including Mubarak and his family, to be prosecuted quickly. All the political detainees must be released immediately and we want to know who is behind the lack of security. Also, why do police officers still receive their salaries while they do not assume their duties as they should?

This is sufficient, and we should appreciate his decision to step down and stop this hatred, grudge and ingratitude. All of us commit sins, and it is unacceptable to humiliate this symbol. In this regard, I believe that the general prosecutor is one of the men of the former regime.

It is necessary to prosecute Mubarak and his family, given their corruption and oppression against Egypt and its people. God may give respite, but He never forgets. This is end of all oppressors, and we seek God’s help against them.

God is the Greatest, and He may give respite, but He never forgets. However, the Egyptian people should respect themselves, and every one of them should return to his work, so that everything will go on. Unfortunately, Egypt will never get rid of Mubarak, because there are many people like Mubarak.

I believe that we should negotiate with those corrupt people to restore the looted money from abroad, in exchange for banishing them aboard. Egypt needs the money, not their own detained bodies.

Despite the political mistakes of Mubarak, the question is, will we see another Mubarak in Egypt?

Everything has an end. O God! Show us a day and days when we will quench our thirst for revenge upon those criminals.

With all due respect to the Egyptians, all people must respect the law, and abide by the results of the investigations. If Mr. Gamal Mubarak and his brother Alaa Mubarak are not guilty, according to Egyptian law, as revealed by the investigations that should take place in the presence of their lawyers, then they should be released. It is unacceptable to behave as if we are thugs, because the law is the law.
