After a long and hard fight against an illness which preoccupied me for the entire summer, I recovered finally my health and prepared to pick up my pen again. But it is vain to talk about health in a country that is sick and where the climate is contaminated.
The hand of injustice, cowardice and pettiness hit the website of "Kalima" to reduce it to nothing.
The attacked was one, but the attackers many; it is imperative to unveil them.
The regime is without any doubt the instigator of the attack against our website. Because it's a regime of pirates and highway men, and particularly if these highways would lead toward the discovery of the true and hideous nature of this regime, like the road followed by "Kalima". <!--[endif]-->Thus, this new abuse of power is a new indicator which denounces the regime and sheds light not only on its nature, but also on the level of its fear of seeing its face mirrored by a free media, which does not practise neither complaisance nor opportunism, and which does not sacrifice truth under any pretext or for any kind of benefit.
It is the hand of a Tunisian expert , a male or female computer engineer, which must have executed this abuse. This expert is probably a frequent and insatiable visitor to the site of "Kalima" and other sites of the citizens' resistance to oppression, who likes to read their content and admire the courage of their contributors. Nevertheless, this expert has executed the orders that were dictated to him to destroy what he had learned to love.
This figure could not be a man, because that presumes the qualities of inherent honour; nor a woman either, which presumes the qualities of humanity; nor a patriot or a citizen, for a citizen protects his or her rights and does not degrade them; while the patriot facilitates the work of militants and does not put obstacles in their way.
It is without any doubt a remotely controlled robot ordered to carry out actions which are in use until the moment it breaks down and is thrown on the rubbish heap; it executes, solely for the purpose of filling its stomach, all that it is ordered to do, without consideration of ethics, of conscience or human dignity.
The circle of assailants against "Kalima" and other committed sites is much bigger and does not comprise exclusively the regime's lackeys: it includes equally those who are in the democratic opposition and who deliberately ignore "Kalima" and its allies and exclude it from moral support. Probably because "Kalima" disturbs them with its independent tone and its critiques and might upset their "democratic" sensitivity and their "belief" in "the virtues of freedom of expression"; or simply because they have a "legal" background. "Kalima" does not enjoy the right to be legally published because of the injustice and of those who chose to remain tight-lipped; and I am tempted to say because of those adopting a complicit silence.
Despite the distance which separates each from the others, they all participate in varying degrees in the attack on freedom of opinion and the political backwardness which is rampant in Tunisia. One commits a crime and the other is a silent and complicit witness.
And now, let us see how many parties, how many associations, how many political personalities and particularly how many media outlets will report that "Kalima" has been deprived of legal existence, equally from material and political support, and reduced to publish its articles on the Internet, and how many will dare to openly denounce the new ignoble attack to which the site of "Kalima" has been submitted.
I call upon you to visit the new site of "Kalima", because there will be a new site, which will continue to publish until the lifting of these two kinds of injustice: the injustice of power and the injustice of tyrants and the injustice of those related to us.
