URGENT MESSAGE FROM ACTIVIST IN EGYPT. PLEASE REPOST IF YOU CAN! "To all the people of world"
To all the people of world
The people in Egypt are under governmental siege. Mubarak regime is banning Facebook, Twitter, and all other popular internet sites Now, the internet are completely blocked in Egypt. Tomorrow the government will block the 3 mobile phone network will be completely blocked.
And there is news that even the phone landlines will be cut tomorrow, to prevent any news agency from following what will happen.
Suez city is already under siege now. The government cut the water supply and electricity, people, including, children and elderly are suffering there now. The patients in hospitals cannot get urgent medical care. The injured protesters are lying in the streets and the riot police are preventing people from helping them. The families of the killed protesters cannot get the bodies of their sons to bury them. This picture is the same in north Saini (El-Sheikh zoyad city) and in western Egypt (Al-salom). The riot police is cracking down on protesters in Ismailia, Alexandria, Fayoum, Shbin Elkoum, and Cairo, the capital, in many neighborhoods across the city.
The government is preparing to crackdown on the protesters in all Egyptian cities. They are using tear gas bombs, rubber and plastic pullets, chemicals like dilutes mustard gas against protesters. Several protesters today have been killed when the armored vehicles of the riot police hit them. Officials in plain clothes carrying blades and knives used to intimidate protesters. Thugs deployed by the Egyptian Ministry of Interior are roaming the streets of Cairo, setting fire on car-wheels as means of black propaganda to demonize protesters and justify police beatings and state torture
All this has been taken place over the past three days during the peaceful demonstrations in Cairo and other cities. Now, with the suspicious silence of the local media and the lack of coverage from the international media, Mubarak and his gang are blocking all the channels that can tell the world about what is happening.
People who call for their freedom need your support and help. Will you give them a hand?
The activists are flooding the net (youtube and other sites) with thousands of pictures and videos showing the riot police firing on armless people. The police started to use ammunition against protesters. 15-year old girl has been injured and another 25 year old man has been shot in the mouth. While nothing of these has appeared in the media, there is more to happen tomorrow. Will you keep silent? Will you keep your mouth shut while seeing all these cruelty and inhumane actions?
We don't ask for much, just broadcast what is happening

3:46 PM ET - Fellow web intern at The Nation Sara Jerving put this audio slide show video together featuring an eyewitness account from her friend who has been studying the Israel-Palestine conflict in Israel. She lived in Cairo for some months and returned this week to participate in the protests in Egypt.
3:27 PM ET Now-Vice President Omar Suleiman of Egypt, recently sworn in by Mubarak as a concession to the uprising, will just bring more brutality and torture to Egyptians. WLLegal on Twitter has sent out many materials proving this truth.
Both Stephen Grey's Ghost Plane and Jane Mayer's The Dark Side cite Suleiman's connection to rendition and torture. Mayer's book connected Suleiman to the CIA.
WikiLeaks cables released also show Omar Suleiman's connection: General Petraeus' Meeting, Admiral Mullen's Meeting, Presidential Succession in Egypt. (The cables spell his name Soliman.)
Mubarak and Suleiman are very close.
