major protest day in Egypt

July 8, 2011

Hundreds of thousands protested in Tahrir, justly demanding trials for the snipers and thugs of January and February. HERE.

Ahram calls it “the biggest show of people power in months.” And this despite what was surely a very hot day in Cairo. It always is, in July.

A more detailed list of the protestors’ demands:

“The demonstrators’ main demands include the speedy trial of police officers responsible for killing the martyrs, the speedy trial of Mubarak and corrupt ex-regime figures, setting a minimum wage, restructuring the ministry of interior and cleansing the police force.”
