From the Daily News Egypt…

A protest and lecture held in Cairo against the Agrium plant in Damietta turned into a harsh critique of the regime which approved the project.
Opposition members likened the crisis to the gas chambers of Nazi Germany.
“It is a regime worse than the Nazi gas chambers. It is a regime which causes the death of the innocent and destruction of the land for this generation and the next one. It is the execution of the Egyptian state,” said Deputy Chairman of the Tagammu party Abu El-Ezz El-Hariri.
Damietta residents traveled to Cairo at the invitation of the freedoms committee of the Journalists’ Syndicate to protest the continued presence of the Agrium petrochemical plant in the tourist resort of Ras El-Bar, despite the decision by the People’s Assembly to relocate the plant.
Protestors first gathered on the steps of the syndicate in front of a security cordon and chanted slogans against the plant, indicating in clear terms that for the people of Damietta, it was a matter of life and death.
“Stay away from us you thieves; all we have left is air and water. The government says Amen to thieves and the corrupt,” the protestors chanted.
After the protest, a lecture was held on the fourth floor of the syndicate to debate the issue as a wide array of speakers were given free reign to discuss various other issues.
“We are not just in solidarity with Damietta, but with all Egyptians,” El-Hariri said
