Al-Hurra TV censors Egypt torture story
“Don’t talk about the government or security. If you say anything about the government or security, I’ll cut out the broadcast”
This is not a State Security officer talking. This is Mr. Tarek Nassar who runs a private studio with a contract with Bush’s Al-Hurra TV in Cairo talking to Ahmad Maher, the Facebook activist who was tortured by Mubarak’s State Security pigs, prior to an interview.
Maher was taken off air shortly later.
Mahalla hunger strikers taken to hospital
I’ve just received news from a Socialist source in Cairo saying detained Ghazl el-Mahalla hunger strikers Kamal el-Foyumi and Tarek Amin were also transferred to the Bourg el-Arab prison hospital after their health deteriorated.
I still don’t have more details about when exactly were they transferred, but their health (and Kareem‘s who was transferred earlier) is in a critical condition.
