Egyptian police raided today the office of a NGO in Shobra el-Kheima, and tried to seal it with red wax, acting on orders from the Qalyoubiya governor who accused the NGO, Ahalina, of “inciting riots.”
Ahalina has been lobbying the governorate to introduce basic facilities like sewage and clean water to the slum dwellers and squatter settlements in Qalyoubia.
