Since I am declaring June the month of remembering the old school activities singer Sheikh Imam, the blind Egyptian musician who sang for many issues that got him in hot water with the state security agencies in Egypt for more than 40 years.
The song talks about the struggle for building and liberating Palestine, those songs are usually ok in Arab countries and no one will fight you for them. But when you sing about social justice, corruption and fear, you will be harassed and called out. So Sheikh Imam had nothing to lose, what will they do to a blind man?
They put him in jail for years, making him the only Arab singer to serve time in jailhouse for his music.
