Medicines for Gaza.. why detain those activists?!
Because the Regime of Husni Mubarak will not premit such a thing. Egypt has 2 border crossings with Gaza and it keeps them shut mist of the time. What do you expect from an unelected president like Mubarak who is supported by America and the EU. Now Egyptians are busy with the soccer team Ahli that is coming back to cairo with a trophy, how sad!
