I don’t have details yet, but I received news that Ain Shams University employees received the University President Ahmad Zaki Badr, the son of the notorious former Interior Minister General Zaki Badr, by protests on the campus of the Faculty of Agriculture in Shoubra. The employees were demanding job security, as they have been either on temporary contracts or without contracts at all for years (some have been working for 12 years without being instated, I was told).

The protests, according to my source, prevented the University President from leaving campus till the afternoon. One woman protester passed out and was transfered to the hospital.

I’ll update this posting if I receive more information…

UPDATE: More information in this Al-Masry Al-Youm report..
