A report from a comrade on the field said "It was a continuation of the Thursday demonstration to open the Rafeh Crossing, and this was going to be in the Azhar area. Surely enough, the 'mubarak zionist security apparatus' closed the metro area and forbade any vehicles from entering the area, but we were ahead of them, & found a way we can get into the Azhar area. Despite the extreme security measures taken we were capable of entering the besieged Azhar area and the security officers were stunned to find us there all of a sudden. They came towards us, then began beating us [...] another group of ours began another demonstration at the journalists' syndicate, another one downtown Cairo, and one on the road leading to the Rafeh Crossing. We called this Friday, the 'Angry Friday.' [...] We demanded they 1. Open the Rafeh Crossing 24/7 2. allow humanitarian aid into the Strip 3. shutting down the Egyptian Embassy in tel Aviv 4. stop providing gas to the Zionist enemy 5. allow the two activists [Jenny & Natalie] to go to their respective countries after they were being punished for pro-palestinian activism"
My very reliable source said the demonstrators' most popular slogans were:
"Hey Mubarak, you rabbit- you American puppet!" [يا مبارك ياجبان ياعميل الامريكان]
"O Palestinian-our beloved, break the dawn of Tel Aviv!"[يافلسطينى ياحبيب دمر فجر تل ابيب]
"To Gaza we are going, a million martyrs we will be!" [على غزه رايحيين شهداء بالملايين ]
"Hey Mubarak, get off-get lost, before revolution comes to your door!"[-يامبارك خلص وارحل والحق نفسك قبل ماثوره تقوم وتحاسبك]
[Little girl with banner: No to Mubarak!]
One of the demonstrators in contact with me, reported the police had beaten the demonstrators. Numerous demonstrators got bruised over their bodies, & the demonstrator, D.G., who was in contact with me, got hit on the head & arms.
The demostrators were 100 in total initially, then rose up to 350 individuals. The demonstrations were held till eight o'clock in the evening.
A demonstration, also organized by Kifaya, will occur tomorrow at 11 near the Arab League headquarters, Jami'aat el Duwal el Arabiyya [جامعة الدول العربية], with the same demands. "It will remain till night time, & they [Egytpian authorities] will not stop us!" says D.G.
