<p><b>Urgent Appeal to Occupy and All Social Justice Movements:<br>
Mobilize to Defend the Egyptian Revolution<br>
December 19, 2011</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><b><a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.defendegyptianrevolution.org/2011/12/19/defend-the-egyptian-revolution/#endorse">Endorse
the statement here.</a></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>In recent days, protesters demanding civilian rule in Egypt
have again been murdered, maimed and tortured by the Supreme
Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) and the Interior Security
Forces (ISF).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The conspiracy, being brutally implemented in Egypt, is part
of a global conspiracy to suffocate mass movements for
socio-economic justice and is being done with direct
assistance of the American government and the private
interests which direct that government. We have word from
friends in Egypt that SCAF, ISF and their hired thugs -- armed
by ongoing shipments of $1.3 billion in weapons from the U.S.
government -- plan to execute one by one all the leaders of
the revolution, and as many activists as they can.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Accordingly, we need to ensure that people and organizers in
the US and internationally are involved in closely monitoring
the events unraveling in Egypt. By keeping track of the
atrocities committed by SCAF and ISF, keeping track of those
detained, tortured or targeted, and continuously contacting
officials in Egypt and the US to demand accountability,
cessation of the atrocities and justice, we can add pressure
on SCAF, ISF and the forces they represent. In this way we may
be able to play a role in helping save the lives of our
Egyptian brothers and sisters.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Evidence of the conspiracy to execute the leaders and
participants of Egyptian freedom movement, includes in very
small part the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">Sheikh Emad of Al Azhar was killed by a bullet
entering his right side from short range. This was seen at
first hand by witnesses known to members of our coalition.
Sheikh Emad was one of a small number of Azhar Imams issuing
decrees in support of the revolution. His murder was no
accident.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">Sally Tooma, Mona Seif, Ahdaf Soueif, and Sanaa
Seif, all female friends and relatives of imprisoned blogger
and activist Alaa abd El Fattah, and all known
internationally for their political and/or literary work,
were detained, and beaten in the Cabinet building.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">A woman protesting against General Tantawi,
head of SCAF, was detained and then tortured by having the
letter "T" in English carved into her scalp with knives.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0
level1 lfo1">Detainees are being tortured while in courtroom
holding pens. Two men (Mohammad Muhiy Hussein is one of
them) were killed in those pens.These are only a small
number of the horror stories we are hearing. And we continue
to receive reports from Cairo about a massive army presence
in Tahrir Square and the constant sound of gunshots.These
are only a small number of the horror stories we are
hearing. And we continue to receive reports from Cairo about
a massive army presence in Tahrir Square and the constant
sound of gunshots.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p>In every way, Egypt's fight is our fight. Just like us,
Egyptians are the 99%, fighting for social, political and
economic justice.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The same 1% that arms the Egyptian dictatorship commits
systematic violence in this country against the Occupy
movement; antiwar and solidarity activists; and Arabs,
Muslims, and other communities of color.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>As the US Palestinian Community Network recently observed,
"the same US-made tear gas rains down on us in the streets of
Oakland, Cairo and Bil`in."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Because of Egypt's key strategic location, the fate of its
revolution echoes across the world. Its success will bring us
all closer to achieving economic and social justice. But its
defeat would be a major blow to social justice movements
everywhere, including Occupy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>In short, Egypt is key to the continued success of the Arab
Revolution, and movements she has inspired.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>For all these reasons, we ask Occupy and all U.S. social
justice activists to join us in mobilizing to defend our
Egyptian brothers and sisters by immediately organizing mass
convergences on Egyptian embassies, missions, consulates, and
at U.S. government offices, to demand:<o:p></o:p></p>
