Marching from Manyal to downtown Cairo to join the revolutionaries in Tahrir, the university professors stopped at the parliament gate, and kept shouting: Batel! Batel! (Illegitimate! Illegitimate!).

#Jan25 Union calls for dissolving the parliament, cabinet
The independent Union of Real Estate Tax Authority Employees has issued a statement calling for dissolving the parliament and the cabinet, and endorsing the protests.
Crackdown on all labor protests around parliament
Following the assault on the Amonsito workers this morning, the Egyptian police has just cleared out the entire area around the parliament, forcing Helwan’s Telephony Company, Nubariya and Amonsito to suspend their ongoing sit-ins by force, threatening them with more detentions.
The Egyptian government has committed one of the most stupid acts for this year. They have sent back the workers to their factories, and sent out a signal to all other protesters that none is welcome anymore in this little “Hyde Park speakers’ corner” that has been in the making over the past few months. In other words, the protests from now on will be in the workplaces, and the in the provinces, and inevitably I expect nothing short of direct actions by the workers to block the high roads like what they’ve been doing in Tanta, Alexandria, Damietta, Kafr el-Sheikh, and other places. Now in the coming days, you can surely add the 10th of Ramadan City and the Nile Cornish road.
