On Sunday, Egyptian activist and blogger Alaa Abd-El Fattah was released on bail after almost two months in detention. He speaks to Democracy Now! about his experiences in prison, the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces --- "They are the ones who should be on trial" --- and the situation in Egypt: "What comes next might be even tougher and even more difficult, but I don't think that this revolution is going to end without really completely renegotiating the order of power in Egypt and across the Arab world."
