Egyptians around the world asked to stand united

Dubai: Egyptian activists along with the Occupy movement supporters abroad say they are organising protests for the continuation of the revolution.

They are calling for protesters to rally between January 21 and 25 to call for the downfall of Egypt's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) .

In some countries the protesters mobilised Saturday, given that some Egyptian embassies would be hosting celebrations four days ahead of the one-year anniversary.

The protesters say they have gone back to their initial demands that brought down Mubarak: bread, freedom and social justice. They believe that instead of moving forward, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces has brought back the days of Mubarak where people have been tried at random before military tribunals.

During Mubarak's rule, 2,000 Egyptians were brought before military tribunals. However the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces has arrested and tried an estimated 12,000 protesters in under a year.

To mark the anniversary, protesters said they hopes to mobilise supporters in New York, Boston, Washington, Chicago, Minnesota, Toronto, Ottawa, Oslo, Madrid, London, and other European countries such as France, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Italy, and Ireland.
