In solidarity, in defiance: global day of action for Egypt
Venue: Trafalgar Square, London
From the Trade Union Congress:
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.
Egyptian Workers have long been repressed under three decades of President Hosni Mubarak's autocratic rule, suffering from worsening unemployment, particularly among the youth, and the denial of their basic rights at work.
