University profs to protest for judges/detainees on Sunday

University professors -- presumably the same ones that have been campaigning for State Security to move off-campus and greater academic freedom -- will be holding a demo in front of the High Court in Downtown Cairo at noon on Sunday to call for the release of recent detainees.

Correction: Have received a message saying that the professors are actually heading a delegation to meet with the Prosecutor General. I suppose there is still a good chance they won't be able to meet him and that it will turn into a demo.
