Agents from the Omraniya Police Station arrested yesterday a number of garbage collectors, who are involved in the ongoing strike over unpaid salaries, and transferred them to the 6th of October Prosecutor’s Office, on charges of illegal assembly. The police had invited a number of strikers to the station for negotiations with the company managers. When the strikers arrived, they found out it was a trap, and the police detained them immediately.
