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 Gameel 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/
