Support for ‘global day of action for Egypt’

In solidarity, in defiance: global day of action for Egypt

Saturday 12 February 2011, 12pm to 2pm
Trafalgar Square, London

Egyptian Workers have long been repressed under three decades of President Hosni Mubarak’s autocratic rule, suffering from worsening unemployment, particularly among the youth, and the denial of their basic rights at work,

But with the uprising, they are throwing off the yoke of the state-controlled trade union movement, by recently declaring a new and independent national trade union centre.

Stand in solidarity with this new union movement in its calls for democracy, and social and economic justice for the Egyptian people.

Join the global day of action spearheaded by Amnesty International and the International Trade Union Confederation, this Saturday, 12 February 2011 in Trafalgar Square from 12 noon to 2pm.

Please show your solidarity and defiance by wearing black, white or red – the colours of the Egyptian flag
