"To start with, I was a journalist in Egypt. And after the Rabaa event (when government forces killed 638 while clearing protest camps), there was persecution of journalists, especially the journalists who working in the places that support Mohammed Morsi or the journalists who are against the military coup and El-Sissi. And because of my work with Rassd news network, one of the biggest news networks that opposed El-Sissi, the security authorities fabricated lots of charges against us, especially after the hidden documents (relating to Morsi) were stolen. They arrested three of my colleagues, and after they were arrested I was required to appear before a military court in a case. So I had to leave Egypt because of this. After I came to Turkey there was another case against me also because of my journalism work that opposed the military ruling, and I was sentenced to death in this case."

This accusation was based on his confessions, documented by a video, he mentioned my name and that I was working for Aljazeera Mubasher Misr at that time."

LEAD IN:
A number of Egyptians are living in exile in Turkey because of their political activities.
They fear returning to their country could mean imprisonment - or even death.
STORY-LINE:
Abdelrahman Saied is sculpting metal in a workshop in Istanbul - and he's lucky he's free to do this.
The 24 year-old Egyptian has fled his homeland over fears he will end up in prison.
He took part in numerous protests after the January 25 revolution and was arrested in April 2016 after demonstrating against the handover of the islands of Tiran and Sanfer to Saudi Arabia.
There is a jail sentence and fine outstanding against him.
"We were arrested in El Bouhous metro station. We stayed at the police station for two days then we went to a camp of the central security forces 10.5 kilometres outside Cairo on the desert road to Alexandria for two days," he recalls.
"After that they released the students. They were about 44 to 48 of the arrested, and I was among those released. Ten days later, the court issued a ruling of five year sentences and 100,000 Egyptian pound (5,400 US dollars) fines for the arrested people."
Egyptian writer and political activist Sherif Diab has also been forced to leave Egypt.
Among a number of charges, he's been accused of starting an illegal revolutionary movement.
Before illegally fleeing the country, Diab was arrested by police, interrogated and spent two months in prison.
He claims he was treated very badly.
"During my detention period in Banha jail, they were and insulting and swearing me everyday. They used to say things like: "you think you are like heroes in the streets, but here we will show you what you really are"," he says.
"It was a sort of revenge, not law enforcement at all."
One day he hopes to go back.
But returning to Egypt could be deadly for journalist Asmaa Elkatib.
She worked for the pro-Morsi new network Rassd.
She claims the security forces have "fabricated" charges against her and other journalists who oppose Egyptian President El-Sissi.
"After I came to Turkey there was another case against me also because of my journalism work that opposed the military ruling, and I was sentenced to death in this case," she says.
Ibrahim Abdelraouf was an active freelance filmmaker in Egypt. He worked for Al Jazeera - several of whose staff have been arrested by the Egyptian authorities.
He was named as providing accommodation and financial support for Ahmed Ali Abdo, a man accused of being involved in espionage for Qatar.
The case means he feels he is safer in exile in Turkey rather than back in his homeland.
