We stand in solidarity with you and your demands for freedom, dignity, social justice and a decent livelihood. Your courage in standing up to your dictatorial regime and its brutal police is an inspiration to the world, including members of the University and College Union (UCU)—the union of university academics and administrators at Warwick University.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial Rounded MT Bold", "sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">You have led the way to a new future in the Middle East, where governments respect the aspirations of their people and no longer repress them and steal from them. We honour and remember the hundreds of people who sacrificed their lives and the many more who were injured, arrested or tortured during your revolution. We support you as you continue to build social justice and political freedoms in your countries. </span><br />

This event will create an open space to discuss the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt, and the growing number of protests in other countries across the Middle East. You can hear firsthand accounts of the uprising in Cairo and join the debate about what the overthrow of Ben Ali and Mubarak means for the region and the wider world. We will also discuss organising in solidarity with those fighting for democracy and social justice in the Middle East.thawrat.misrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07777850877609438279noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907069677163449578.post-34232667424738924142011-02-19T11:03:00.001-08:002011-02-19T11:03:12.238-08:00UEA Norwich flashmob for the MidEastAssemble at the centre of the square at UEA, on Weds. 23rd at 1.30pm, for a brief flashmob in solidarity with the people of the Middle East who are rising up.<br />Bring your mobile phone, obviously! ;-) :-)<br /><br /> Organised by C'llr.

When I spoke in London two years ago, I said 'in Egypt the workers'<br />
movement is opening the door of freedom.' Now we have seen that come<br />
true.<br />
Mubarak going has opened the door to trade union freedom here. And we<br />
will<br />
support freedom around the world.<br />
<br />
For so many years we were doing it on our own, fighting against a police<br />
<br />
state, and all the official trade unions were tools of the government.<br />
Now<br />
we'll have free trade unions, free opinion and free political parties.<br />
When<br />
we went out to the workers, that was the turning point in this<br />
revolution.<br />
We went to the factories and offices and told people the truth. We<br />
brought<br />
the workers onto the streets and the regime cracked.<br />
<br />
We want to thank you for your solidarity. We learnt from your struggles.<br />
We<br />
still need your support. We're not talking about money, but about<br />
solidarity. Above all we want to learn together, to exchange ideas to<br />
build<br />
our common struggle.<br />
