Egypt: Free jailed union leaders

In partnership with the Center for Trade Union and Workers Services (CTUWS), an Egyptian non-governmental organization established in March 1990 by labour activists.

Egyptian authorities have arrested a number of leaders of independent trade unions in recent weeks. Nine leaders have been arrested and of those, seven remain in jail. These include:
Tarek Moustafa Ke’eib, head of the Real Estate Taxes employees' trade union in Kafr El Sheikh, governorate of Qaliyoubiah
Said Ali Gamei, Real Estate Taxes employees' trade union, in Kafr El Zayyat, governorate of Gharbiya
Ayman Fathi El Sabbagh, Real Estate Taxes employees' trade union in Berket El Sab’a, governorate of Menoufiya
Atef Fathi, Real Estate Taxes employees' trade union in the New Valley governorate
Mohamed Abdel Hamid Hassan, Real Estate Taxes employees' trade union in Miniya governorate
Mohamed El Hendawi Said, workers' leader at the Company of Electricity in Sammanoud, governorate of Gharbiya
Abd El Ghoneimi Qaddous, workers' leader at the Company of Electricity in Sammanoud, governorate of Gharbiya
There are concerns that other union leaders will be arrested as well.
Please join us in calling on the Egyptian government release them at once.
