Army, police crack down on Tahrir sit-in

Posted on By 3arabawy

On the first day of Ramadan, the army and police are now cracking down on the Tahrir sit-in, randomly arresting activists and members of families of the martyrs, tearing down the tents, firing live ammunition into the air.

UPDATE: In the video below, the Muslim Brotherhood declare their support for the police and army’s move against protesters in Tahrir. What a disgrace!

UPDATE: Check out this set of pix by Nora Shalaby. Interesting to see a new breed of thugs, in plainclothes but wearing official army and police helmets with bullet proof vests.

Who are these people?

UPDATE: Also of course, Brigadier General Mamdouh Abbas of the military police was also there. Whenever this guy appears, troubles always follow.

Counterrevolution: Islamists and the Military Junta

Posted on By 3arabawy

As revolutionaries flock to Tahrir Square, the Muslim Brotherhood continue to refuse taking part in protests today, while the Gamaa Islamiya and the salafis mobilized a protest in el-Fath mosque in Ramses Square, denouncing the “secularists, Marxists and foreign agents” in Tahrir.

Also, few hundreds of pro-Mubarak supporters have also gathered in Roxy Square in Heliopolis, to express support for the ruling military junta and the police, and to denounce the protests in Tahrir.

Mubarak’s name to stay, says court

What a disgrace!

This goes to show for the Zillionth time that we cannot depend on the justice system, established and deformed by Mubarak.

We will have to do this job ourselves and not wait for a court order. If you come across Mubarak’s name on any billboard, banner, school gate, factory, then bring it down and smash it immediately.

And on another note, will that be the sort of judiciary who will “try” Mubarak himself supposedly?! If you can’t even get rid of his name, how will u get rid of the guy or his regime by law?

We need special courts for Mubarak, his family and regime figures.
