Wael Ghonim, the Google executive who played a key role in last January’s protests in Egypt, recounts how he was arrested by Egyptian police, the 11 days he spent in custody, and what he discovered after he was released:
“I felt like I was captured for 11 years, because I’m seeing a new version of Egyptians — all of a sudden, everyone is empowered, passionate.”
Last year, Ghonim set up a Facebook page to memorialize the killing of a young Egyptian man, Khaled Said, at the hands of Egyptian police. On that page, he urged Egyptians to take to the streets. His call helped organized the first protest in Cairo’s Tahrir Square. He said he wasn’t trying to start a political movement; rather it was a call for human rights.
