GLOBAL DAY FOR EGYPT: DEMONSTRATION IN LONDON

GLOBAL DAY FOR EGYPT: SATURDAY 12 FEBRUARY

posted by John Molyneux, Weds 9 Feb 2011

Amnesty International and the TUC have called a demonstration
this Saturday 12 February in Trafalgar Square, 12noon to 2pm, as
part of the global day for Egypt.

Stop the War urges all its supporters to join this demonstration
and to do everything possible to publicise it as widely as
possible.

The situation in Egypt remains critical. The protests are
stronger than ever, not just in Cairo, but across the country.
It's estimated that up to eight million may have joined the
protests. But there are reports of many leading activists being
arrested and Mubarak's strategy is clearly to slowly re-assert
the regime's authority.

An international show of support this Saturday can make a
difference. London is just one of the solidarity protests that
will be taking place worldwide. The need to mobilise the biggest
possible turnout cannot be over stated.

EGYPT: IN SOLIDARITY - IN DEFIANCE
DEMONSTRATE SATURDAY 12 FEBRUARY 12-2PM
TRAFALGAR SQUARE, LONDON
