Press Syndicate demo

Posted on By 3arabawy

There is a demonstration taking place now in front of the Press Syndicate, which started around an hour ago.

I’m told there are 2000+ protesters, largely MBs. And according to Jaikus I’m receiving the MBs are intervening and silencing anyone who’s chanting “Down with Hosni Mubarak” and are segregating the men from women protesters. DISGUSTING! All the Muslim Brotherhood’s moves are in coordination with the police.

UPDATE: Mansoura is under the occupation of police troops, while in Cairo Abu Sehla has made an appearance in front of the Press Syndicate.

UPDATE: A video from the protests:

All out to support Gaza

Demonstrations will take place tomorrow in all major Egyptian universities in Cairo and the provinces. The MBs, Socialists, and Nasserists will be mobilizing.

There will be protests outside the mosques following the noon prayers in the provinces, a march on the parliament by noon, and a protest in front of the Doctors’ Syndicate at 1pm.

Down with Israel. Down with Mubarak. Victory to the Palestinian resistance.

DEMO IN SOLIDARITY WITH GAZA TODAY

Posted on By 3arabawy

Demo is planned in 20 mins to take place in front of the Press Syndicate in solidarity with Gaza.. at 5pm sharp…

We are racing against deadlines here at El-Badeel to include expanded Gaza coverage… We will be giving it three pages in tomorrow’s issue… Already journalists who finished their stories are now racing to the Press Syndicate to take part in the protests.

There’s no question which side are El-Badeel journalists on… WE ARE ALL GAZANS TODAY…!

UPDATE: 6pm: There are more than one thousand protesters in front of the syndicate. Clashes are taking place.

UPDATE 7pm: Some photos from the protest by Nasser Nouri…

UPDATE: 7:10pm: El-Badeel colleague who is at the demonstration now is saying the Muslim Brothers have left the Syndicate suddenly around 20 mins ago. The MBs withdrawal was coordinated with the police. The number of demonstrators, according to my colleague, has dropped from 2,000 to 1,000 now mostly leftists.

UPDATE: 7:30 More demonstrations are planned tomorrow in Cairo and the provinces.

UPDATE: 7:50pm: Elaf posted a UPI report saying the Egyptian regime has withdrawn its ambassador from Tel Aviv. We checked the state-owned MENA and Reuters, and there’s nothing about that.. The mobile of the spokesperson of the Foreign Ministry, Hossam Zaki, who is quoted in the report, is busy. But if there’s nothing about that on MENA, then the UPI report is bullshit!
