• Abir Ghattas

On February 5, 2013, Abeer Ghattas was summoned for questioning, after the lawsuit filed ‎against her by Spinneys for previously publishing on her personal blog an article called ‎‎“Michael Wright, Spinneys CEO NO MORE”, exposing the maltreatment that workers are ‎subjected to in Spinneys supermarket.‎ Ghattas went to the station of the Al-Burj Brigade, in the Bashoura area, where she saw the ‎text of the lawsuit filed against her, which was attached to an Arabic translation of her English ‎article entitled. Her statement was recorded and her reservation about the wrong translation ‎was recorded in the investigation report, then she was healed in the station for an hour despite ‎the end of the investigation. She was not released until after she signed a pledge to not attack ‎the company again. Ghattas was forced to sign the pledge under threat of 5 days arrest. ‎ She received a call from the police station around 10pm, informing her of Spinneys’s ‎lawyer request to delete the content on her blog. After deleting the content, the record was ‎closed.‎
