Esraa the Virtual Leader of 6-April Egyptian Strike Released

Esraa Abdel Fattah has been released yesterday under specific resolution from the interior Minister after her condition deteriorated sharply and were referred to hospital.

She confirmed that the Security Forces didn’t treat her bad at the Police Station.

Esraa Abdel Fattah is a young Egyptian woman who with her friends created a facebook group calling for a peaceful strike all over Egypt in protest to the rising food prices which has hit Egyptians in the last few months. The prices have gone up threefold and fourfold with no parallel increase in salaries.

On the day of the strike which has been planned to be on the 6th April 2008, and as a preventive measure, Esraa and her friends were arrested before even starting to take any action. In an act of violation of human rights, they were placed in provisional detention for 15 days under investigation for provoking public unrest and calling for a strike which is against an emergency law that has been implemented in Egypt now for more than 25 years.

Mabrook Ya Esraa!
