Mansoura-España striker’s husband dies, as he was bringing breakfast to factory
Bad news…
Ali el-Sayyed Nour, a 45-year-old Azharite teacher, was heading in the morning to the Mansoura-España Garments factory, to bring breakfast to his wife Aida Ahmad Abdel Ghani, who’s been part of the women strikers occupying the factory since 21 April. He was hit by a train and died.
My condolences go to Aida and her fellow workers.
