Monday: Bulaq police sadists trial to conclude
The trial of Police Captain Islam Nabih and Corporal Reda Fathi–the Bulaq el-Dakrour Police Station sadists who tortured, sodomized driver Emad Kabeer and filmed the abuse to further the humiliation–is expected to come to its final chapter, with a verdict to be issued this Monday, 5 November, at Dar el-Qadaa el-Aaly, 9am.
Karl Mubarax
Hosni, you the son of Arabism. O brother, you are so great.. May he, who thought one day of making you grieve, have his hands cut.. He, who does not follow you, shouldn’t live.. He, who does not listen to you, shouldn’t live.
This is a translation of the “poem” recited Wednesday by Ibrahim el-Azhari, the General Secretary of the govt-controlled Egyptian Federation of Trade Unions during the end of the celebrations of the October War anniversary in the Nile Delta province of Qalyoubiya, sponsored by the (also govt-controlled) Young Workers’ Federation.
Ok, I can’t resist this. I gotta translate more of Al-Azhari’s juicy quotes:
“Mubarak, may God make him alive longer, is the peasant, the worker, the soldier.. President Mubarak feels for all the society’s classes and represents them,” he said adding that there was nothing better than poetry to counter the president’s critics.
Moreover, Al-Azhari said that the Young Workers Federation has collected President Mubarak’s speeches in a two-volume encyclopedia, titled “Mubarak’s Encyclopedia of Labor,” clarifying that the US Library of Congress already ordered it and the encyclopedia is in circulation.
