Egypt: The Revolution and its Aftermath
Update: 2021-02-09
Description
Ten years ago, Egyptians took to the streets against a decades-old military dictatorship. But the initial success of the revolution faded, first with the entry of the Muslim Brother to power, and then with the military-coup that overthrew them. Today, Egyptians again live under military rule, and tens of thousands of activists, journalists, artists and other political prisoners linger in the country's most notorious prisons. In this episode, Ryan speaks with Saed, a participant in the revolution who was later held in Tora Prison, and scholar Vivienne Matthies-Boon, who has been researching the deep impact the revolution and subsequent repression have had on its participants.
