Trafalgar Square: Saturday 12 February 12 noon to 2pm
Stand in solidarity with the people of Egypt and the wider Middle East and North Africa in their demands for an end to repression, for their freedom, their basic human rights, and immediate democratic reform. And stand in defiance against all those who try to suppress the growing movement of people standing up for their rights, and for decent work, facing down injustice and offering hope for a better world
Amnesty International and the TUC have called this demonstration this Saturday 12 February in Trafalgar Square, 12noon to 2pm, as part of the global day for Egypt.
Stop the War urges all its supporters to join this demonstration and to do everything possible to publicise it as widely as possible.
The situation in Egypt remains critical. The protests are stronger than ever, not just in Cairo, but across the country. It's estimated that up to eight million may have joined the protests. But there are reports of many leading activists being arrested and Mubarak's strategy is clearly to slowly re-assert the regime's authority.
An international show of support this Saturday can make a difference. London is just one of the solidarity protests that will be taking place worldwide. The need to mobilise the biggest possible turnout cannot be over stated
Called by Amnesty International and Trade Union Congress
