“Struggle without hesitation,” says labor blogger Kareem el-Beheiri from his cell in Bourg el-Arab Prison.

According to a message I received few mins ago from a Socialist source, the Mahalla 3 are still on hunger strike, and State Security police agents are engaged in negotiations with them to suspend their strike.

More worryingly, it turned out, contrary to the information which trickled previously out of prison, that none of the hunger strikers have been transferred to hospital. They are still locked up in Cell No. 5, Section 22 of Bourg el-Arab Prison.

Down with Mubarak, the US-backed butcher of Mahalla!
