L'allarme del
Comitato di Coordinamento Antimperialista e per la Solidarietà tra i Popoli
sulla feroce repressione in Egitto

(in inglese)

On behalf of the International Anti-imperialist and People’s Solidarity Coordinating Committee, Ramsey Clark, President, and Manik Mukherjee, General Secretary, have released the following statement on the repressive measures of the Egyptian Government against Mahalla textile workers and the Muslim Brotherhood.

We are viewing with serious concern the repressive measures of the Egyptian Government on political workers and human rights activists. More than 800 people have been put in prison including more than 150 political activists with different political viewpoints. In connection with the strike of  textile workers in the Mahalla textile complex the Government has arrested more than 600 people, mainly women and children, including two important strike committee leaders, Kamal El-Faioumy and Tarek Amin. The security forces attacked the demonstrators with rubber bullets, tear gas and live ammunition, leaving at least two dead and hundreds injured. People staging protests and demonstrations in Cairo and other cities and in villages are ruthlessly suppressed.

We condemn such brutality of the Egyptian Government on the protesting workers and express our full solidarity with the victims of repression. The Government must immediately stop resorting to repressive measures against the workers fighting for their rights. We join all the fighters for freedom and justice from all over the globe in demanding the unconditional release of all the political prisoners and victims of state repression. At the same time we condemn the Egyptian regime for its corrupt presentation of the Muslim Brotherhood and demand dismissal of the cases against them, scrapping the recent convictions and demand compensation for the violations of fundamental human rights of the Brotherhood members, their families and multitudes of beneficiaries
