In the name of national security, citizens are stripped of their nationality, demonstrators are shot in the street, and thousands are held in arbitrary detention. In Egypt, danger lurks in the squares, universities, football stadiums, and even bathhouses, with the security services having detained anywhere from 22,000 to 41,000 citizens in the last year.
阿拉伯政府没有试图缓和不满或尝试妥协，而是用强力取缔任何可能的异见或争论空间。在国家安全的名义下，公民被剥夺国籍，示威者在街头被射杀，数千人遭遇肆意逮捕。在埃及，广场、大学、足球场甚至公共浴室都危机四伏，去年特务机构逮捕了22,000至41,000位公民。
