4. […] Meanwhile, activists who had only been freed in the past days and weeks after spending a month in prison for participating in protests in support of judicial independence and clean elections circulated around the garden, greeting friends and colleagues they hadn?t seen since their imprisonment. Ahmed al-Droubi was there. So were Akram al-Irani, Ahmed Al-Rifaat, and Faris Iskandr. […]

5. […] Fifty judges protested against the Egyptian government with the goal of obtaining independence from Mubarak’s regime. The judges are angry that the Mubarak regime allegedly forced them into giving their seal of approval to what they believe were fraudulent elections last year. Egyptian police responded to the judges's peaceful protests by beating one of the judges and arresting 15 of his supporters. A small protest movement developed as a result of this and Last week the government responded by arresting 49 activists, including a blogger named Malek. Today the Egyptian government arrested Alaa Ahmed Seif el Islam and another 11 others for their support of the judges protests. I haven't read Alaa's blog before–it is in Arabic, but I do read the blogs of the Egyptian Sandmonkey and The Big Pharaoh and they seem very alarmed by this turn of events. This is from the Sandmonkey Alaa, blogger, co-founder of the egyptian blog aggregator Manalaa and democracy activist, got arrested today during a protest to support the Judiciary's branch fight for independence. He, and about 10 others, were rounded up in the street, beaten up and thrown in a police car. Amongst those who got arrested were at least 3 girls, and the police beat up at least another 2 girls as well. […]

6. […] I hesitated a long time before writing this post. I like the Kifaya kids, and I can’t dispute the courage it must have taken to stand on street corner in 2005 and say “down with Mubarak.” Part of me says don’t stab them in the back, kick them when they’re down, or mix metaphors. I have no problem airing other people’s dirty laundry (or mixing metaphors), but I’m more reluctant when the laundry belongs to people I know socially. It feels like a betrayal of trust. I’m writing in the hope that it will remind the shebab that the world is watching. Wael Abbas, who has done a great job documenting police abuse by posting photos and videos on his Web site, didn’t like it when the Kifaya protesters chanted slogans threatening President Mubarak and all tyrrants with a fate like Sadat’s. His problem wasn’t that death threats against the president could be construed as cause for the police to disperse the demonstration. Rather, the problem was that Abbas liked Sadat, and didn’t like hearing him insulted. Abbas and some young Nasserists—notably Fadi Iskandar, one of those detained at the sit-in in front of the Judge’s Club last Spring and the son the (unrecognized) Karama Party’s Amin Iskandar—had long been in a silly pissing match on the mailing lists about who was better: Nasser or Sadat. Abbas posted a picture of Sadat and a banner with Karama’s logo crossed out on his Web site. […]
