The Story of a Center Treats the Security Body As Its Enemy.

Is Maat center for Judicial and Constitutional Studies treats the security body as an enemy?! many people said "yes" but the center"s manager Ayman Oqeel Said "no" and added: surely Maat Center never treats the security body as an enemy, we are just a center concerned with the detainees and their families and adopt torture cases so some people regarded that we treats the security body as an enemy… on the contrary we regarded the security bodies initiative to release detainees of Al Gehad organization as a relief in the Ministry of Interior"s treatment according detainees" file … we also asked about the end of the other detainees who are not affiliated to this organization. In addition, after the Ministry of Interior assigned 84 small projects to families of those who are already in prison or released, we said that it is a good point in the Ministry of Interior"s account.

So we offer positive criticism, and the ministry role is to keep security and prevent the crime before its occurrence, but we choose the work in human rights field, to defend humans and detainees, we also revealed the violations and transgressions of some policemen and put all information and events we discover under the control of the concerned bodies what ever it was the Ministry of Interior or the Attorney General.

Ayman Oqeel added, before some people accused me of treating the Ministry of Interior as an enemy while I am not, I said: I make an action, in its time it was said that it is an innovation and that it did not occur before all over the world, this action was that "we made an assessment of the civil organizations" supervision on elections" i.e. "supervise the supervisors", this action performed by volunteers" efforts of organizations contribute with us which is :One World for Improvement and Civil Society Care, headed by Maged Soroor, and   Human Improvement Association, headed by Mohamed Mohee, in this action we revealed negatives of the organizations" supervision. This action made the other organization accused us of being the security body"s (agents), they also attacked us severely, but we just want to clear truth even this will cause other organizations anger. Through the supervision of the supervisors we found some members of the political trends involved in the supervision which make the supervision lose its neutrality, subjectivity, and integrity. We also found that numbers of qualified and trained supervisors is not enough to the supervision process, in addition that the supervisors did not follow principles and standers of international supervision, thus the center became between two fires of the Ministry of Interior and of the other organizations. We do not treat the Minister of Interior as an enemy and we are not of the centers which do not work neutrally, we work to defend constitutional rights.

"About foreign finance, any body can not receive any finance without the permission of the concerned official authorities whatever these authorities were administrative authorities like the Ministry of Social Solidarity or security authorities. I said, before any dealing with any finance body, the Ministry of Solidarity is informed by the name and activity of the body, if there is any opposition of the Ministry this agreement is prevented. Also when money is sent to banks we can not exchange any dollar without the Ministry of Social Solidarity"s permission. I confirm that I am against any finance aimed at Egypt, or any foreign agendas obliged to us, we just offered proposals for the financing bodies which agree with us on the working agenda" Ayman Oqeel added.

Ayman Oqeel also said: according to political participation file we supervise the later Bar Association"s elections for the first time, issued our special report, and observed the conflict between Ashoor and the Brotherhood…we supervise presidential, and parliament   elections
