Release the Nakba protest detainees!
There will be a demonstration tomorrow Wednesday, May 18, 4:00pm, at Tahrir Square, in solidarity with Tarek Shalaby and all Egyptian revolutionaries detained by the army and police during the Israeli Embassy protest.
Army and Police, two faces of the same coin
I was pleased to see Field Marshall Tantawi speaking today. I had seriously started thinking he’s dead, and what we see on TV was some animation. Talking to fresh pigs graduating from the police academy (formerly known as Mubarak’s Security Academy): “We (the army) descended to the streets on 28 January to help the police.” He repeated that twice. The country’s military dictator also kept going back and forth to the issue of the economy, warning of labor strikes, and accusing “thugs” of infiltrating labor protests.
