Another Thursday in Cairo

More protests in solidarity with the judges, on the one-year anniversary of the amendment allowing for "multiparty" "elections". MB is rumoured to be bringing out up to 10,000 protesters. I don't think that's possible, but I'll catch whatever I can catch of the protests later today.

From Freedom For Egyptians:

• International support is being rallied to show and express support for Egypt’s democracy and freedom tomorrow through pro-reform and democracy Egyptian Judges Club (Syndicate).
• Egyptian Judges are calling upon all Egyptians to come and confirm their commitment to Egypt’s freedom in front of Cairo’s Supreme Court, down town. More details here.
• International support is rallying everywhere in the world. This is really a cute map for all demos around the world. It does not include South Korea’s protest though. Cairo’s protest is extended to Beirut, London, Paris, Athens, The Hague, Seoul, New York, Chicago, Washington DC, Toronto and Montreal and the list keeps growing.
• On the eve of May 25, a protest is planned at Tahrir square, Cairo’s largest and main square in preparation for the big day.
• Cairo lights will be turned off from 9-10 PM in solidarity with Egypt’s judges.
• At the American University in Cairo, a protest is planned at the Greek Campus. The University is located at Tahrir Square.
• Egypt’s popular movement Kefaya (Kifaya)‘s coordinator George Ishak is sending a message to all activists abroad who are showing their support to Egypt before May 25.
• Protest of university professors in front of main hall of Cairo University calling for the release of detained faculty and students at 11:30 AM.
• Another main protest in front of the Judges Club is planned at 1:30 PM.
• The International Campaign in Solidarity with the Egyptian Judges has the timeline for all world demonstrations.

Protests around the world.... London, Washington DC, Paris, San Fransisco...
