Security cracks down on Amonsito textile workers, Sunday 23 May, in front of the parliament.
Listen to the worker speaking at 2:33, drawing parallels between the state crackdown on the Amonsito workers to Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians.
Video of the Amonsito workers’ march in downtown Cairo yesterday, while chanting: “Megawer, you are a thief!” referring to Hussein Megawer the head of the corrupt, state-backed Egyptian Federation of Trade Unions.
As expected, the Nubariya workers are threatening to cut the Cairo-Alexandria high road. This comes as all detained Amonsito workers have been released from police custody early this morning, and will be holding a press conference tomorrow.
