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.
