Al Masry Al Youm columnist Amr El Shobaky says the case against Mohamed Aboutrika confuses political opponents with terrorists. Aboutrika is accused of financially supporting protesters at the Rabaa sit-in, but the protestors cannot all be considered terrorists, he says. The state itself admitted that all the protestors at the sit in could not be terrorists when it allowed for a safe exit for protesters before security forces raided the square.
