Subject: [ANSWER]: Action Alert: Egyptian Anti-War Activists Arrested Date: Fri, 04 Apr 2003 17:54:16 -0500 X-Original-Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"; format="flowed" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Status: In a further attempt to silence dissent, the Egyptian government/military apparatus has begun a widespread round-up of human rights activist. Hundreds have been arrested under the pretext of removing leaders of an unauthorized anti-war demonstration, scheduled for this afternoon in Cairo, Egypt. Among the detainees is well known activist, Dr. Ashraf El-Bayoumi. His wife, Dr. Soheir Morsy was also detained but then released. All the remaining detainees need your assistance. The heightened repression in Egypt comes as we in the US see our right to dissent continuously challenged. Your voice is desperately needed to ensure the safe return of all those detained. Don't let them down. Please fax or email the following offices: You will have to retype the email address in the send to box. The hyperlink is not working. What you should emphasize is that the current detainees were attempting to attend a demonstration that was backed by court ruling when they were detained. While a number were released, some eleven remain in detention, including Dr. El-Bayoumi. Ask that all detainees be released and the Government of Egypt recognize and respect freedom of assembly and speech. Please act now; our anti-war friends are counting on it.
