Khaled Hamza’s detention has been extended by the State Security Prosecutor, as expected:

The New Cairo-based state security prosecution ordered on Monday, March, 3rd, 2008, the detention of Khaled Hamza and 12 other Muslim Brotherhood (MB) members prolonged 15 days pending investigations. They have been arrested ahead of the Municipal elections scheduled to be held next April, 8th, 2008.

My thoughts go out to him, his family, and all political detainees in Mubarak’s prisons.

And while Western officials keep praising Mubarak’s “democracy,” the security crackdowns on the Muslim Brothers activists continues in different provinces:

At dawn on Monday security forces arrested 65 members of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in Sharqeya, Kafr El-Sheikh, Sohag, Gharbeia, Giza, Qena, and Menoufiya, said a Brotherhood press statement.
The police official, speaking on customary condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media, confirmed Monday’s arrests.

I received the following message from Cairo:

بدعوة من الطلاب الاشتراكيين، يقوم الآن مئات من الطلاب بجامعة القاهرة بالتظاهر تضامنا مع أهالي غزة وضد الصهيونية والإمبريالية والأنظمة العربية المتواطئة وعلى رأسها النظام المصري

Hundreds of students, mobilized by the Socialist Students, in Cairo University are now demonstrating on campus, in solidarity with the citizens of Gaza, against Zionism, Imperialism and the collaborating Egyptian and Arab regimes

Good luck shabab!

UPDATE: The Muslim Brotherhood students started a separate demonstration… but I received news now that the two marches have united… Excellent!
I hope someone is taking photos and/or videos.

UPDATE: Comrade Osama reporting on the demonstration, via SMS today.
The students were chanting: “Gamal, tell your dad: The Egyptian students hate him”

“The Students are like the workers. Both suffer from exploitation.”

“Those in Gaza are our brothers. They are miserably poor like us,” “He who starves his own family and people, is a client dog from head to toes.”

A statement by the Socialist Students is also posted here, denouncing both the Zionist State and the US-backed Mubarak’s dictatorial regime.

UPDATE: A detailed report with photos by Comrade Mostafa.
The student slogans included: “The first demand by the (Egyptian) people is torching down the (Israeli) embassy, and expelling the (Israeli) ambassador…. We will say it one generation after the other: We will be your enemies Israel…” The students also denounced the Arab regimes’ positions towards the Palestinians, and criticized Mubarak for exporting natural gas to Israel..
The protests on campus started separate from one another… So the Socialists mobilized their own, the MBs had their own… but the protesters united after sometime… and toured the campus that fell under the siege of Mubarak’s Central Security Forces and State Security agents. The day was over with a mass conference, where speakers from the Socialist Students, MBs, Ghad and ‘Amal Party gave speeches of solidarity with the Palestinian struggle… The photo below is of the march mobilized by the Socialist Students before they united with the Muslim Brotherhood’s.
