Stop crackdowns on MBs, say rights activists

Posted on 20/11/200730/12/2020 By 3arabawy

I received the following statement from HRINFO:

Egyptian human rights & law organizations said today that keeping silent about the continuous police campaign against hundreds of Egyptian citizens because of their being members of the Muslim Brotherhood, is becoming a collusion & participation in this systemic oppression, and therefore they must not keep silent.
Yesterday, security authorities have detained about 25 citizens from Sharqiya & Daqahliya cities in the delta region. They followed the usual routine of arresting MB members in the dark of the night, raiding into their houses & terrifying their family members who woke up on the noise of doors being broken & armed men threatening them.
The organizations signing this proclamation are denouncing the fact that news about random police campaigns & detentions of MB members from most of the governorates of Egypt are considered unworthy of publishing or even mentioning in most of Egyptian newspapers, with the exception of sparse brief news in some independent newspapers & some websites, as if it is becoming a trivial thing to arrest Egyptian citizens & oppressing them on the background of their political opinions as Islamist opposition.

Mubarak to increase electricity prices

Posted on 20/11/200730/12/2020 By 3arabawy

From the Daily News Egypt:

The public was shocked Monday with news that the government has decided to increase electricity prices starting December.
The new prices apply to all categories, including domestic, commercial, street lights and agricultural. The only category that was not included in the raise was the first domestic bracket or the “lower-income domestic bracket.”
The government notified the electricity authorities Sunday to start calculating electricity consumption using the new fare starting December. The new electricity bills with the higher prices will reach consumers in January 2008.
The Ministry of Electricity and the Egyptian Electric Utility and Consumer Protection Regulatory Agency (EEUCPRA) refused to comment on the issue.
This price increase contradicts the ministry’s previous statements made during the announcement of the new electricity law.
