Pigs raid Sharqawi’s publishing house; confiscate books خنازير الداخلية تداهم دار ملامح للنشر وتصادر كتب
Published by Hossam el-Hamalawy April 15th, 2008 in Activism, Books, Egypt مصر, Human Rights حقوق إنسان, Left يسار, Police شرطةMubarak’s pigs raided the publishing house run by detained blogger and friend Mohamed el-Sharqawi, around 3pm, according to a phone call I received from his fiance Naira el-Sheikh.
Plainclothes agents, claiming to be from the Vice Squad but showed no ID or official papers, stormed Malameh, located in Garden City in Downtown Cairo.
The police confiscated all the copies they found of Magdi el-Shafie’s novel “Metro,” and forced the publishing house accountant Ahmad Sameer to sign a pledge under threat to hand the police personally any returned copies from that novel. The pigs also took some more copies from other novels Sharqawi published.
Sharqawi remains in El-Marg Prison, since his arrest on 6 April from his house in Sheikh Zewayyed…
UPDATE: Omar Caesar has more details here…
