URGENTTTTTTT: FREEDOM OF SPEACH IN EGYPT / TAKE ACTION / PUSH FOR THE RELEASE OF FORMER ICRC INTERPRETER MOHAMED FAHMY

DEAR ALL THIS IS AN URGENT APPEAL TO THE UNITED STATES AND ABOVE ALL THE ICRC TO PUSH FOR THE URGENT RELEASE OF AL JAZEERA JOURNALISTS HELD IN CAIRO.

I KNOW VERY WELL MOHAMED FAHMY, FORMER COLLEAGUE AND FRIEND FROM BEIRUT.

MOHAMED FAHMY WORKED WITH ME AS ARABIC TRANSLATOR IN THE PRISONS IN LEBANON.

WE ENDURED ALSO THE BOMBING OF A PALESTIAN CAMP, NAHR EL BARED BY FATAH AL ISLAM.

YOU ALL KNOW THE ICRC HAS NO ACCESS TO EGYPTIAN PRISONS.

PRISONERS ENDURE TERRIBLE TREATMENT.

PUSH WHOEVER TO RELEASE THESE GUYS.

ICRC DO SOMETHING FOR A FORMER CO-WORKER. ITS ABOUT TIME!

AND USA: DENOUNCE THE RAPE OF JOURNALISTS, YOU HAVE A FEW IN TAHRIR SQUARE DURING THE SO CALLED REVOLUTION AND STILL NOW.

I.E LOGAN, FORMER CBS REPORTER. AND MANY, MANY EGYPTIANS. DO SOMETHING.
