WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED
There are multiple groups and organizations in the world that fight police brutality in Egypt but unfortunately the problem persists. Around the world, people are still being denied their fundamental rights, and are being abused and controlled by governmental powers. People endure this treatment in at least 81 countries, unfair trials in at least 54 countries, and restrictions to freedom of expression in at least 77 countries. “While some gains have been made over the course of the last six decades, human rights violations still plague the world today.” Human rights is a natural right that all humans should have as soon as they are born into this world.
Something that really surprised us when studying this issue and the defender is the fact that Egypt has turned from a once beautiful and lovely country into a vicious war zone between government and citizens. The very people who are there to protect are the main sources of harm. People try to stand up to these problems but are severely punished for doing so. This directly violates Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states that no human should be put through such cruel torture and abuse that will make them feel less than a human being. The defender, Hafez Al Sayed Seada, interviews people who were endured this cruel treatment by the police. He was then arrested for doing so. We found it very unfortunate that the very people who are dedicating their lives to this vital cause have to suffer such consequences.
The defender showed us what it meant to be a true leader. To be a leader means that to take the first step to start a cause, not waiting for someone else to because without a leader, everyone would be lost and in their own path. A leader helps make a change that will not only change him, but the people around him and the world. Being a leader obviously is not easy, it comes with great consequences. We learned that we shouldn't wait to make a change out of fear. If it means something to us, and we believe in it then we go pursue it because an idea can become a powerful weapon. It takes one person to change a neighborhood, one neighborhood to change a community, one community to change a nation, and one nation to change the world. Hafez Al Sayed Seada not only taught us to fight for my rights, but others as well.
Studying this issue taught us that other countries' conditions are significantly less than the United States. Other countries around the globe are being denied their rights to freedom, religion, marriage , and other fundamental rights. There is no reason to sit and watch this continue. We should be finding ways to assist with the cause and helping them gain their freedom.
