Here is Wael's own words in his post: Urgent - YouTube Restores my Videos YouTube restored 177 of my 181 videos details in a few hours I revisited Waels's account on Youtube & it was completely restored. Here is the link for Wael's account on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/user/waelabbas This is a good end of the story as I guess Wael blogged few hours ago that YouTube at last restored his videos… Here is Wael’s own words in his post:

One of the videos he posted, of a Cairo man being beating and sexually assaulting, was credited with helping bring pressure on Egyptian authorities. That pressure led to three-year jail sentences for two of the policeman involved in the assault.

Their is much violence on tv and in the movies. Yet we can not post 'real' violence that is wrongful. Unfortunately I believe governments are pressuring no free press. Even in the West, the media is influenced by power and politics. I hope the Internet can be used to unite people. I am from the US where I believe our democracy is eroding. Our elections are being challenged and some say that election fraud is causing us to have unfair results. The Internet I hope can be a place where people of all countries join for the rights of all people. This is most unfortunate. Their is much violence on tv and in the movies.

These are the types of videos that people from around the world need to see in order for something to be done about it. Youtube has an amazing potential of being an unfiltered voice for the victims of the world; granted there will always be 12 year olds vloging about what they want for their birthday, I think we need to make sure that it remains a free forum. Moreover if you think of the logic being employed by youtube it becomes quite troubling. They have taken an ambivalent stance regarding these torture victims and said that the footage is improper to be shown around the world. The problem, however, is that people are being sheltered from what is going on and youtube is preventing prospective viewers from taking meaningful action.
