I added today a new Egyptian Military testimony not from a POW but more from a survivor
You can check it here
It is the longest testimony and it is one of the best example of how it was in Sinai in June 1967 and it is the 16th in that section
I am sorry if there is any spelling or grammar mistake in the translation , I still got more testimonies 1995 to be added ,not to mention the photos and videos ,please pardon if I appeared lazy ,I am not.
Of course you noticed that suddenly things are getting quiet , well the best thing that there are others who promised not to forget at least I am one of them.
Officials are speaking in a strange way like they never knew that mass murders happened in six days war ,I mean every vateran in 1967 can tell you two or three stories that confirms the existance of the mass murders
Dear Nowarah Nagam , the daughter of two of my favorite icons in Egypt “Ahmed Fouad Nagam” and “Safinaz Kadem” made a wonderful move to encourage the people not to forget the POWs case again , to be active , even in the weakest way , by sending emails to dozens of international personalities from Congress men,organizations and TV networks
So here I am requesting from you the same thing just copy and past the following Email body
Ok we waited along and our officials are speaking nonsense ,ignoring the solid facts they have under their noses ,and what we got now instead an accusation that Egyptian army killed Israeli POWs in the 1973 war !!
Despite this news will make people laugh especially the military who fought back in 1973 , who know very about the 5 stars treatment the Israeli POWs got but I know that internationally we will find ourselves in the position of the victimizer instead of the victim, the shifting of truth will place and the Zionist lobby is there to help
For God Sake let the remainings of the officers in mass graves out let it speak and scream , let be their DNA .
The Israeli POWs had trips to visit Egypt famous sights when they were in our hospitality !!

At last president Mubarak spoke about the Egyptian POWs after two or three weeks of silence , of course his statements come after the public anger in Egypt regarding this issue grew , same with the Public surprise for his silence all that time.
He spoke in an interview with “Momataz El-Kot” the chief in editor of weekly “Akhabr El-Youm” last Saturday, already Mr. “El-Kot” caused a great anger last week after he underestimated the
Massacres and indirectly defended the IDF “don’t even ask!” , the problem of “El-Kot” that he is working in an official state owned newspaper , so anything he writes can be considered state’s opinion regardless of how silly it is .
Of course the interview included other important issues now not less than the POWs case like the constitution amendments.
Anyhow regarding the POWs who are the main concern of this website , this is what the President of Egypt said :
The headlines of the Radio and Television magazine says that the version of the “Rush Shaked” documentary which was given to the Egyptian Foreign ministry from the Israeli Television is faked one.I forgot to say that the Radio and Television magazine is a state owned magazine that follows the ministry of information.
I don’t want to say that I expected this ,the Israeli officials won’t give us the evidence on their guilt in the war easily.
Now I don’t know when the Foreign ministry stops depending upon the Israeli committees of investigations and starts a serious investigation from Egypt itself
Something many of you don’t know , after the 1956 and 1967 POWs massacres came to surface for the first time after decades in 1995 , the Foreign ministry also requested an Israeli investigation to conducted and guess what after 3 years that was in 1998 , the Foreign ministry received the report that denied any incident what so ever despite the confessions of the Israeli Paratroopers in 1956 themselves !!!
Ok people I will need your help again this and be sure I will need it again
This time it is an English petition made for the Egyptian POWs sent to the UN,U.S Congress and E.U Committee
It is better than nothing
and believe me if I told that I am glad to find it because I wanted to made one by English but I didn’t know what to write in it
After my signature there are now 375 signatures ,I want this number after 24 hours to be doubled , I am not asking you but I am begging
you on my knees
People this time we must not shut up and forget as we always do ,because one day we will be asked what we had done
This is an Arabic petition to the Head of the lawyers syndication in Egypt in order to handle the POWs case nationally and internationally
Already I expected this to happen sooner or later and despite its national flavor it is good to have
Please sigh it because it is important to gather ourselves more and more to get the rights of those innocent people
It is a try
And the one thousand miles walk starts with a mile

Ok this is a good sign , but not enough. Yesterday the spokesperson of the Egyptian Presidency Ambassdor Soliman Awad that the presidency is following the file of the Egyptian POWs and already assigned the foreign ministry to follow the case .Also the presidency understands and respects all the public anger for the blood of our POWs
This is a good sigh and for record it is the first since the issue was brought to surface since 1995 but it is not enough
I mean the foreign ministry in Egypt which is assigned from the presidency requested from Israel to investigate the inicdents!! With my all respect to the foreign ministry and its minister but Israel will never lead a serious investigation that will condemn its army in the end and its general and public figures to appear as war criminals
I changed the name of the website from the POW files to the Egyptian POWs , already insh Allah
I intend to make the domain I am going to buy to be “Egyptian POWs” , I would like to hint that the one who reminded me about the name of the website is my dear Egyptian Sweet friend blogger “Blue”
Another update now comments are working , well I guess
These are the still of the updates today
- The Laws section is updated with the Geneva Conventions and
- A new section in 1967 war section is opened regarding the Atlit prison
From an other side , several Egyptian civil and human rights organizations requested the general attorny in Egypt to include 14 Israeli former members of the Shaked unit in the waiting lists in the Egyptian airports for arresting them in case they come to Egypt.
Yesterday there was a very important episode from the popular prime Time News show “10 O’clock” on Dream TV 2 ,really a great work they had done in the channel , they hosted former POWs , a historian and a civilian lady from Sinai , who shared their terrible memories , very terrible and sad , I mean it is enough to hear their testimonies in order to open a serious investigation. Any how the good news I succeeded in capturing parts of the episode on my handcam ,yes don’t even ask , so couple of days I will upload the video , already I write down the script of the episode too insh Allah
. The photos appeared in the show were few ,two or three I didn’t see before , I got more photos ,I hate to say also ,there were photos from Gaza in 1956 war that is not related to the 1967 war , I found them in Getty Images before , the good news I succeeded in captured parts of the “Rush Shaked” documentary , it turned out that the Information ministry in Egypt has got a copy that they gave to the Dream channel , also the Foreign ministry received a copy too.
