Thousands of Egyptian citizens have found a clever way to respond to government censorship: by posting cell phone selfies with the confrontational hashtag Does a mobile phone camera shake you?
The question is directed at Egyptian authorities, who arrested five members of a satirical troupe Atfal al Shawarea, or Street Children, earlier this week. The group is known for using phone cameras to shoot selfie-style videos that criticize the government.
Atfal al Shawareas videos are typically filmed on the streets of Cairo as the troupes six members perform a mix of spoken dialogue and song. The group posted a clip earlier this month titled Sisi my president has brought us down, ridiculing the Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi.
The satirists are now being investigated for inciting protests that aim to disrupt peace and security and cause violent crimes against state institutions, reported Egyptian news website Ahram Online . The BBC says four of the men were held on suspicion of insulting state institutions and inciting protests, while another was detained on similar charges.
