"Kazeboon" (also spelled "Kazabun"), which means "liars" in Arabic, is a public-awareness and alternative media campaign in Egypt critical of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), the current governing power. The Egypt's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (Scaf), has taken over from President Hosni Mubarak a year ago, and was said to transfer power to a civilian administration. Started in the late 2011, the campaign was launched by a group of young people in Egypt to circulate information about the military’s “lies.” They used grassroots media tools, such as screening of videos, marches, and social media to make citizens aware of the criminal activity committed by the military. The Kazeboon campaign consists of film screenings held in public spaces, characteristically done by projecting video clips against building walls. The video clips depict actions taken by Egyptian military personnel against civilians since SCAF took power in February 2011 following Hosni Mubarak's resignation in an effort to counter the narrative portrayed by state media. The goal of Kazeboon is to “remove the military from power” and “get Tahrir Square out of Tahrir Square and into every neighbourhood."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://freespeechdebate.com/en/case/kazeboon-egypts-anti-military-campaign/ )〕 Because the Kazeboon campaign has no dedicated coordinators or organizational hierarchy, it is hard to calculate how many screenings have taken place. According to the estimation of some Egyptian activists, dozens of Kazeboon screenings happen across the country every day. ==Origins== The Kazeboon movement started as a response to an incident that occurred on December 17, 2011 in Cairo. A young woman was attacked and dragged along the ground by Egyptian army soldiers, exposing her torso and bra. A picture of the attack appeared the next day on the front page of ''Tahrir'' newspaper, accompanied by the word "liars." The image was widely shared and became an important visual symbol of abuse of power by the Egyptian military, galvanizing activists that would constitute the organizers of the Kazeboon campaign. To educate the public about this crime and others like it committed by Egyptian police, a film collective known as “Mosireen,” or “The Insistent,” collected hours of film and archived protest footage that they uploaded as videos to YouTube and distributed as DVDs to be played at Kazeboon screenings. The collective first started showing footage of protests on big screens in Tahrir Square in July 2011. The campaign is also known as ''Askar Kazeboon'', which translates to "the military are liars" or "the generals are liars." The target audience of Kazeboon is not protesters and other activists, but people who outside of Egypt and those who support the government and state-run media. The campaign hopes "to reach the people who don't know, and are getting their information from SCAF-controlled state media." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kazeboon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
