Cairo Anti-War Conference canceled under police pressure

Posted on By 3arabawy

I received the following message from the Cairo Anti-War Conference organizers:

Dear comrades,
The Cairo Conference will be canceled this year. Despite our vehement efforts to secure a venue, having reserved one and even kept it unannounced, state security have managed to sabotage our endeavors. The persecution have been heightened since the announcement of the Hezbollah cell. You will receive a public statement shortly on behalf of the organizing committee explaining the situation.
This is such a huge set-back and impediment for us in Cairo, We hope you accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

Seventeen activists have been detained today by the police in front of the State Council in Dokki, during a protest against exporting gas to Israel, marking the dictator’s birthday. The police has also confiscated Sarah Carr’s mobile phone and Camera.

Sovereignty my ass! عرفتوا تشموا النسيم عند الهرم يا بتوع السيادة الوطنية؟

Is that true? Does Mr. Zahi Hawass ban Egyptians from visiting the Giza pyramids on Sham el-Nessim Day coz “Egyptians don’t know how to handle monuments”, allowing entry only to foreigners?!

Where are those flag-wavers who have been crying and wailing over “Hezbollah’s violation of Egypt’s sovereignty”?!??! You can’t even walk with your families to visit the fucking pyramids, while foreigners can, but still, oh no, it’s Hezbollah that’s really screwing our “sovereignty,” right?! A7a!

Photographer Ahmad Abdel Fattah narrates also his ordeal today trying to take photographs in downtown Cairo, only to be chased and banned by the police coz Egyptians like him need a “permission” to take photos, while foreigners as Ahmad noted were walking around him and the police officers snapping pix without any interference from the police…! Indeed a very sovereign nation…! We should blame Hezbollah for that too, ha?

Who’s violating “our sovereignty”? Nasrallah or Zahi Hawass? Habib el-Adly’s thugs or Hezbollah’s resistance operatives? But, hey, of course it’s easier and safer to vomit one’s patriotism over everybody when it comes to the Lebanese and the Palestinians, but when it comes to the police depriving us from the simplest rights while granting it to foreigners that’s normal, natural… Shame on you…!

Again, my support goes for Hezbollah.
