#Jan25 The fall of Fathi Surrur
During the university professors’ march from Manyal to Tahrir, on 8 February, protesters passed by the parliament, where they stood and chanted: Batel! Batel! (Illegitimate! Illegitimate!), referring to the vote rigging which took place in the elections in November 2010.
Protesters also denounced Fathi Surrur, NDP parliament speaker and one of Mubarak’s most notorious old guards.
In the pictures below, protesters assembled in front of a shop facing the parliament, denouncing Surrur’s banner put up by the shop owner. The owner freaking out, tore it down few minutes later.
3 killed in building collapse in Cairo working class neighborhood
More disasters in the working class neighborhood of Sayyeda Zeinab, the constituency of Fathi Surrur, the NDP parliament speaker:
CAIRO, May 6 (Reuters) – Three people were killed on Sunday when a 4-storey apartment building collapsed in a poor neighborhood of Cairo, security sources said.
They said two bodies had been pulled from the rubble, and authorities were working to recover the body of a third person from beneath the wreckage in the working class Sayyeda Zeinab neighborhood. Building collapses are a frequent hazard in poor parts of Egypt because of lax building standards and poor maintenance.
