The Mahla Trial and the clashes in Alex

Today was the last episode in the Mahla Trial and it was not a good or cheerful episode Generally.
  • 27 protestors were found innocent .
  • 22 were found guilt and sent to jail between 3 and 5 years
This is unfair , this is what I can say with all my respect to the Egyptian Judicial system !! :(
By the way I expect that there will be more action in Mahla because there are lots of things we are not paying attention to in the Textile factories starting happened lately from worker activists who lost their jobs to the strange plan to include the textile factories in the new project of public privatizing voucher system. I think there will be new round of sit in and strikes which I wish that they will succeed in reminding the people with what is happening in Mahla.
Now the day is not over and there have been clashes in Alex today between Civilians and cops , of course it did not reach like what is happening in Alex’ twin Athens. The same old story the people are angry because they believe a cop killed a driver.People were injured , some of them were arrested.. you know the rest
A Police general told the official media that these campaigns in the newspapers and TV channels to end torture in the police stations are a conspiracy on the National Security !!! I wish to tell him that the interior ministry with its current policies is the one that is danger on the national security of Egypt :(
