Oggetto: Egyptian Peace Activists Tortured - PROTEST in Central London
 Monday, 24 February 2003, from 18:00 to 19:00, outside the Egyptian
Embassy, 26 South Street W1
At least 15 Egyptian activists and organisers against war on Iraq have
been arrested in Cairo. Ten remain in detention without charge. Most
have been tortured with electro-shock. Several of those tortured are
school students.
Fourteen peace and human rights groups in Egypt have asked us to do
what we can to get them released.

EGYPTIAN ANTI-WAR ACTIVISTS ARRESTED AND TORTURED
By Ahmed Ben Bella, George Galloway (MP), John Rees, Stop the War
Coalition
At least 13 Egyptian activists against the war on Iraq have been
arrested. Ten of those 13 remain in custody, including a journalist
and a film maker, and we know that eleven of the 13 arrested have been
tortured. We have received a plea for solidarity from a broad range of
anti-war and human rights groups in Egypt, asking us to protest to the
Egyptian embassy in each of our countries, and to the Egyptian
government. As signatories to the Cairo Declaration of December 2001
against war and globalisation, we ask you to support their appeal.
For further information, or to register support, contact Jonathan
Neale of the International Campaign against Agression against Iraq at
findjo...@hotmail.com
, or by phone on 44 (0)7986-220641.
The phone number of the Egyptian embassy in London is 0207-499-2401.
Speed is of the essence.
The appeal from Egypt reads in part:
"On the 18th of January State Security Police arrested 11 activists
participating in an anti-war demonstration in Cairo. In the dawn of
the 8th of February they arrested and issued an order of detention for
Ibrahim El Sahari, Journalist at El Alam El Yom, founding member of
Center for Socialist Studies and prominent activist in the Egyptian
antiwar movement.
On 9 Feb, at 2 p.m., they arrested another antiwar activist, Sabri El
Sammak, director of production at Aflam Misr El Alameya, the
production company of Egyptian filmmaker Youssef Chahine.
"A vicious war is about to hit the region causing a damage whose
proportions no one can fully predict. It is the people of the region
who are going to pay for this war. In those black moments of history
the least the peoples of the world can do, and the Egyptian people are
no exception, is to raise their voices against that war and the
interests it serves.
"We demand the immediate release of our detained colleagues and to
stop the harassment of the Egyptian solidarity movements, which are
exercising their legitimate right in collective peaceful expression, a
fact supported by the recent court order which rejected the
government's decision to ban the
organization of peaceful demonstrations against the war on Iraq."
The names of those still in custody are Sabri Al Sammak, Ibrahim Al
Sahari, Tamer Hindawi, Abdel Gawad Ahmed, Mohammed Khalil, Samir Al
Foli, Magdi Al Kordi, Mahmoud Hassan, Mohammed Dakhli, and Mohammed
Hosni. The activists in Egypt are worried that many more will be
arrested in the next few days if there is not sufficient international
pressure for their release.

Veramente l'Egitto non è una democrazia, e tampoco lo vuole essere, ma -
come recita la sua costituzione - è una Repubblica Socialista a regime
militare.
