protestTuesday – November, 26 2013 – 35 Egyptian activists were arrested by the Egyptian security forces during a peaceful protest organized by the “No to Military Trials for Civilians” movement outside of the Shura Council [2] in Cairo. The protesters were expressing their rejection against an article regulating military trials for civilians in the new constitution. The police used excessive force and tear gas against the peaceful protest, and they arrested dozens of activists who were participating in the protest demo, including  journalists and lawyers.

In a related development, the Kasr Al-Nile Court for Misdemeanours today ordered the imprisonment for one month of activist Ayman Maher. He was fined EGP 50 and a bail of EGP 100 was imposed to suspend the ruling. The security forces arrested Maher during his participation in the second anniversary of the “Mohamed Mahmoud incidents”. He was accused of possessing and distributing the statements of the “Thuwar” front, what is deemed by the regime as incitement to subversion.

The names of the detainees during the protest demo are below.
