Manifestazione vietata al Cairo, dove da 29 anni vige lo stato d’emergenza. Era una manifestazione richiesta dai ragazzi del “6 aprile”, il movimento nato dallo sciopero virtuale di due anni fa.
Being the legal representatives of three of 6th April Youth: Omar Ibrahim, Ahmed Maher and Mohamed Adel, who had spent their entire lives under a state of emergency, lawyers of the legal aid unit for freedom of expression at the Arabic Network sent earlier last week a legal notice to Head of Cairo security to inform him of the youth intention to stage a peaceful march, on 6th April, starting from Tahrir Square ,to Qasr AlAini street and down to parliament house to inform MPs of youth refusal of extending the state of emergency enforced on Egypt 29 years ago, for two more years.
However, Head of Cairo security responded to the Arabic Network notice with another notice or rather a warning saying, “In the context of the current security status and regarding the consequences that may occur if such marches are allowed to stage like disturbing public security in the capital, therefore, the warned are informed of our disproval of organizing the march referring to security obligations. The warned bear full responsibility of any actions contrary to that“.
