> At about 3:00 am on Monday 24 April, the Egyptian police raided a solidarity
> sit-in organised by Kefaya members and other activists of the democratic
> movement in front of the Judges Club in Cairo.
>  
> The sit-in aimed at expressing solidarity with the Judges in their sit-in
> (inside their club) in protest of the state's attempt to terrorize the club
> and the reformist judges from exposing violations and corruption and rigging
> of the last parliamentary elections (The state - represented by the appointed
> Juridical Supreme Council - decided to send two of the leading judges to a
> committee to penalize them, and the committee, which would congregate on
> Thursday 27 April, have the power to lay the two judges off).
>  
> The police raid on the dawn of the 24th of April resulted in arresting 12
> activists, and in beating a university professor and a judge. The 12 activists
> were sent to the prosecutor office who decided to put them in custody for 15
> days.
>  
> More repression is expected in the coming few days as the 2 reformist judges
> are expected to stand in front of the committee on Thursday morning, and as
> the democratic movement is planning to escalate its solidarity campaign.
>  
> Your solidarity is needed. If Mubarak's repressive regime succeeds in crushing
> the judges reformist movement and the solidarity campaign, this would be a big
> setback to the democratic movement in Egypt.
>  
> We need your support in whichever way you can: publishing news of the event in
> the press, solidarity statements, letters by MPs MEPs, demos in front of
> Egyptian embassies.. etc.
>  
> The detained activists, and the movement, need your help and solidarity.. do
> not hesitate.
