'Free Front for Peaceful Change' calls for solidarity demonstration on Monday to demand release of 6 Egyptian activists recently slapped with 5-year jail terms.

Egypt's 'Free Front for Peaceful Change' youth group has called for a Monday demonstration outside a court in New Cairo to voice solidarity with six activists recently slapped with five-year prison sentences.

The activists were sentenced last week following their arrest outside a court in New Cairo where they had been protesting in solidarity with several students arrested for alleged affiliation with Egypt's anti-government 'Black Bloc' movement.

An appeal session for the six convicted activists is scheduled for Monday.

On the same day, and at the same court, prosecutors will also begin investigations into Egyptian activist Ahmed Duma, who faces charges of 'insulting' President Morsi.

Since the beginning of the year, roughly 2,000 people have been arrested during political clashes in Cairo, most of whom have since been released but not formally acquitted, according to Egyptian rights lawyer Ahmed Emam.

This thinking can extend to the keeping of companion animals, and indeed, many dogs do live in less than ideal conditions.

Sign the petition to help raise awareness and put an end to animal cruelty in Egypt.

The factory’s workers went on strike in protest against the absence of safety measures at the factory. Security forces then arrest eight workers.

On 22 August, the military prosecution referred the workers to a military court. They are now charged with going on strike, damaging public property, and disclosing military secrets – for they told websites about the incident. Moreover, the Egyptian government banned the press from covering the case.

The accused workers:
Ayman Taher Hassan
Ahmed Taher Hassan
Tareq Sayed Mahmoud
Ahmed Mohamed Abdel Mohaymen
Hesham Farouk Eid
Ali Nabil Ali
Wael Bayoumi Mohammed
Mohamed Tareq Sayed

This occurred because of a huge rise in the water table – caused by poor maintenance of a nearby drainage canal, a massive increase in house-building in Harrania village, and construction of a new fly-over bridge half a mile away.

Plans to build a new gallery at the Art Centre have had to be put on hold so that resources can be concentrated on reconstructing the Museum.

Worse, the entire Art Centre – workshops, galleries, houses and gardens – is in extreme danger from rising water.
