Once again, the series "The Choice 2" returned to provoke widespread reactions on social networking sites in Egypt, after a scene of one of the series’s heroes in which he denied that the Egyptian police had targeted the families of the accused and wanted persons, which sparked a wide wave of anger mixed with ridicule.

In this scene, one of the defendants appeared asking the State Security officer - who is the star Karim Abdel Aziz - to promise her that no harm would happen to her family, and she said to him, “The first promised me my parents, my mother and my sisters, they will not get anything.” So the State Security officer responded, “We are our money and your family’s money” ... We are held accountable for those who are wrong, but rather perish in our eyes, and we protect them too. "

The scene sparked the anger and ridicule of followers on social media, in light of the repeated incidents of the arrest of the families of detainees or wanted persons to pressure them to surrender themselves, or to stop activities that the Egyptian authority does not want.

Social media activists competed to mention famous examples, most notably Ola, the daughter of the scholar Yusef al-Qaradawi, and her husband, Hussam Khalaf, who have been in prison for nearly 4 years, apparently in retaliation against Sheikh Al-Qaradawi, who is hostile to the Egyptian regime.

Examples also included the daughter of Khairat Al-Shater, the deputy guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as the arrest of relatives of the activist Muhammad Sultan, after he filed a case against Hazem Al-Beblawy - the former prime minister of Egypt - before the US judiciary, before the Egyptian authorities released them, coinciding with the arrival of President Joe Biden. To power in the United States.

There are other examples mentioned by followers:

Including the arrest of the brothers of the opposition media professionals to pressure them to stop criticizing the Egyptian regime, which is what happened with the media professionals Moataz Matar, Muhammad Nasir, Sami Kamal El-Din and Hisham Abdullah, in addition to the famous YouTuber Abdullah Al-Sharif and the human rights activist Haitham Abu Khalil, whose brother Amr Abu Khalil was arrested. Don Jarrah consultant psychiatrist, and later died in prison.

A number of young men and activists - whose family members were arrested - published the scene, coupled with stories of the arrest of people from their relatives, and accusations being fabricated against them, because of their anti-regime activities.

And Dr. Amr Abu Khalil

Activists expressed their belief that, with the production of the second part of the series "The Choice," the Egyptian regime aimed to falsify history, demonize the opposition, change the mental image of the army and the police, and strengthen the regime’s authority in light of indications of its declining popularity.

The protagonist of the series, Karim Abdel Aziz, received a large part of the attack on the communication sites, as activists shared a previous scene of him in the series "The Escape" - which was produced in the aftermath of the January revolution - in which he spoke about the oppressed people facing the state security officer, and listed the grievances faced by citizens. In the face of the injustice of the security apparatus.

Karim Abdel Aziz's group was a serial worker after the revolution about the filth of State Security officers and the homeless young Egyptian and others to make the story of Khaled Saeed, and they got out and rode the revolution, and suddenly State Security remained cute !!

What is the dirtiest thing produced by the Mubarak regime and his gang ... a black comedy 🙊🙊🤣

It is worth noting that the series "Choice 2" is broadcast on a number of Egyptian and Arab satellite channels. It is produced by the United Media Services Company "Synergy", which is the media arm of Egyptian intelligence.

The series sparked a great controversy in Egypt, and many followers and activists considered it an attempt to change history and falsify it through drama by entrenching unreal stories for several events. Among them is the bloody dispersal of the Rabaa al-Adawiya Square sit-in in August 2013 and the events that followed.
