The SCAF press conference on the Maspero massacre

Read this documentary of the SCAF press conference today on the massacre of demonstrating Copts at Maspero on Sunday. 25 protesters were killed by gunshots or crushed to death by armoured army vehicles deliberately running them over - as video footage proves.

No truth was to be expected from this press conference. And alas - no truth was presented. This press conference for long will remain in the memories of Egyptians as the worst hour of lying by the SCAF.

Five letters to help free Maikel Nabil

Choose whatever suits you best - a letter send by fax or post - commenting on the SCAF page - writing a mail to the Prime Minister - or ALL - but please TAKE ACTION!

This blogger is unjustly arrested in military prison in Cairo for writing a blogpost! He is on hunger strike and currently in bad health in the prison hospital. His family is NOT allowed to visit him! They refuse them any information! We must help him or he might die!

Dear General Attorney,

I hereby urgently call upon you to immediately and unconditionally release Maikel Nabil Sanad!

Maikel Nabil Sanad has been unfairly tried in a military court, although he is a civilian. He was sentenced in absence both of him and his lawyers to 3 years in military jail - merely for expressing his critical opinion on the way the Egyptian army dealt with protesters. This criticism has been on the internet a thousand times by many bloggers. There is no justification to jail this one blogger for his critical views that many others too have expressed without having been arrested and sentenced. It is also a violation of the Interim Constitutional Declaration that the SCAF has guaranteed to the Egyptian people to be valid and respected by the army!

Maikel Nabil Sanad has been in hunger and thirst strike, has suffered a coma and is in prison hospital. His life is in danger. Should anything happen to him, the SCAF will be fully responsible for his injuries or even his death!

Please ensure immediately that Maikel Nabil Sanad is receiving adequate medical care and release him on the grounds that no civilian in the post-revolutionary Egypt should be sentenced in an unfair military trial for expressing his personal views and opinions!

Your sincerely

Please ensure immediately that Maikel Nabil Sanad is receiving adequate medical care and call upon the SCAF to release him on the grounds that no civilian in the post-revolutionary Egypt should be sentenced in an unfair military trial for expressing his personal views and opinions!

In Tahrir sq. you vowed to be on the side of the revolution. The imprisonment of a blogger is not what this revolution fought for. Nor - as you can imagine - is his injury or even his death!

Protest against restriction of TV channels in Egypt

Please copy this text into your mail programm and send to the PM's mail address (he likes to get your mails, he writes on his web-site!)   > mail to PM

Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

the President of the European Parliament, Jerzy Buzek, made the following statement on yesterday's decision of Egypt's transitional authorities to restrict permits for satellite channels:

"I am deeply disappointed by Thursday's decision of Egypt's Military Council and the cabinet of Prime Minister Essam Sharaf to restrict access to satellite channels.

This decision puts Egypt's path towards fair, free and pluralist elections in jeopardy. It sends a negative signal with regard to the commitment of Egypt's authorities to freedom of expression and media. True democracy lives from pluralism of visions, programmes and proposals.

Criticism should not be feared, but used to mobilise political leaders to seek policies to the benefit of the people. Persecuting those who voice their critical opinions - journalists, bloggers, activists - cannot be justified."

I urge you to take this statement very seriously. Egypt is losing its dignity in the world. The image is tarnished by the SCAF and their military rule enough. It is incomprehensible why you as Prime Minister who vowed to be on the side of the revolution allowed this to happen.

The President of the European Parliament has spoken clear and well. If we lose the support of the EU and the world, Egypt will not be well off.

Please ensure that the above mentioned measures regarding curbing free speech and free press will not go in effect!

Sincerely
