At least 19 protesters were arrested yesterday, followed by another 10 today. |
Fifteen were arrested, and most were beaten. We have requested that they be given access to doctors. |
This crime is an obvious indication of the extent to which the security bodies' brutality has reached in dealing with freedom of expression in Egypt. It is a remarkable episode in the ongoing series of violations committed against Egyptian citizens and activists. Such series has been prolonged enough to reach the judges as well. |
This means the fight will intensify between judges and pro-democracy groups on one side, and the government and interior ministry on the other. |
