In 2013, Shawkan took photos of protests against the Egyptian president, Mohamed Morsi in Cairo.  Police arrested him.   Two other photographers were arrested at the same time: Louis Jammes, a French photographer and Mike Giglio, a US reporter. Jammes and Giglio are free but Shawkan is still in prison.  Shawkan went to court, but the court did not free him.  The trial was changed to May 5.

Smelting

smelting chimney]]
**Smelting** is the general term for getting a metal from its natural ore. Gold is an exception because it is usually found as a pure metal. Other metals, like iron, copper, zinc, and silver, need to be got from their ore.

Metallurgy and especially smelting was extremely important to early civilizations. The earliest evidence of copper smelting dates from between 5500&nbsp;BC and 5000&nbsp;BC. These sites are in Pločnik and Belovode, Serbia.

## Process 
The process of smelting always involves heating the ore. It may also use a reducing agent like coke or charcoal. Most ores are oxides, sulfides or carbonates. This process removes the nonmetal part, leaving behind the metal. 

Ores are not pure, so a flux (usually limestone) is added to carry away the impurities as slag.

Beyond this, each metal has its own special methods. Producing iron from its ore is done in a blast furnace. Producing zinc or aluminium from their ores requires (in addition to heat) electrolysis.

### Iron 
Iron is smelted from iron ore in large reactors called blast furnaces. A blast furnace is a tall vertical structure which is fed with coke, iron ore and limestone. When hot air is blown in the blast furnace, the coke will burn and reduce the oxygen off the ore, producing bare iron and carbon dioxide. The limestone binds off any remaining bedrock. 

The iron melts in the hot temperature and is tapped off in liquid phase at the bottom. It is then worked into steel. The limestone and bedrock form a compound called slag. It can be used for making bricks, concrete or road topping. Earlier methods include Bloomery.

### Aluminum 
Aluminum is very hard to make directly from ore. The main way people make aluminium metal is the Hall–Héroult process, which uses purified alumina. The alumina is dissolved using a chemical called cryolite. The solution of molten minerals is treated with electric current, which makes liquid aluminium. The molten metal is pumped out and cooled down into the solid metal.

### Copper 
Copper is poured on naked flame, which burns off sulfur and other impurities, leaving raw copper. Electrolysis uses electric current to separate the copper in big pools, which contain water solution called electrolyte. An electric current is led in the pool, and all copper will gather on the electrode called cathode.
