British journalists to demonstrate in solidarity with Cairo colleagues at The Arabist

British journalists to demonstrate in solidarity with Cairo colleagues

Another event is planned in London for international solidarity with democracy activists in Egypt. I received a press release from the British National Union of Journalists, calling for a demo, outside the BBC World Service building, Bush House, Aldwych, London, from 12 noon to 1pm on Monday 5 June. The press release denounced the attacks on reporters in Cairo, and mentioned specifically Dina Samak and Dina GameelÂ of the BBC Arabic Service, who were assaulted on Thursday May 25.

I don’t exactly know if you were high or drunk at the time you wrote this comment, but there was indeed a demo in front of the Egyptian embassy in London on May 25. For more details, you can check Ahmad Zahran’s blog: http://elkhan-elmasry.blogspot.com/
