Posted on By 3arabawy

Government thugs assaulted and severely injured two members of the Resistance Students on Helwan University campus, south of Cairo. Under the watchful eyes of the police, around 15 from the university’s office of student affairs and plainclothes thugs attacked nine RS activists when the latter tried to put up banners against the rising education fees.

Two students sustained injuries in their hands and necks, and were temporarily detained for an hour in the university’s security office, according to RS activist I spoke with earlier.

The local NDP officials in Alexandria tried to hold ‘Azaa (mourning) for the victims of last Wednesday’s building collapse. Relatives of the victims could be seen, in a video, in a verbal fight with the NDP men, with one shouting: “Get a ladder, and bring this fucking (NDP) banner down!”

Later, Alexandria’s Governor (and former SS General) Adel Labib showed up, only to be chased away by the citizens.

Updates on the Tax Collectors: Free union committee established in Beheira

Though they couldn’t make it to the meeting, the Beheira Real Estate Tax Collectors held a “phone conference” with their colleagues in Cairo. They phoned Kamal Abu Eita, who held his mobile phone close to a mike. Surprisingly, this “phone conference” worked (most of the phone conference I witnessed or took part in, with much more savvy technological devices, honestly, sucked)!

The Beheira tax collectors said they have publicly announced the formation of a free union committee, which already held its first meeting after they held elections in their province. This is the second branch for the General Union of Real Estate Tax Collectors – Under Establishment to be formally announced by the Real Estate Tax Collectors after Bani Sweif.

Abdel Nasser updated his colleagues about the situation in Bani Sweif. He said the corrupt, state-backed union officials are now totally smashed, as the free union activists managed to seize their funds and freeze their operations.
