Solidarity with the Middle Eastern and North African Uprisings
Demonstrate 4.30pm Friday 25th February 2010, Old Steine, Brighton
Over the last eleven days the people of Libya, inspired by revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia and uprisings spreading across the Middle East and North Africa, have risen up against the dictatorship of Muammar Gaddafi. The regime has responded by shutting down phone and internet networks, attacking protests and massacring their own population from the air and with hired mercenaries. The casualties are not yet known but those murdered are estimated at 1000.

On Friday 25th Libyan dissidents have called for a day of rage against the regime – We are here to stand in solidarity with them...
The Libyan uprising is a people's rebellion aimed at shaking off state repression. While the UK has been preaching rapprochement with Libya and peddling crowd control equipment and riot shields to the Libyan police the Libyan people have been suffering under a brutal dictatorship.
In Egypt, recipient of $1.5 billion annually of US funding and armed by the UK, the people toppled the thirty year regime of Hosni Mubarak through a popular revolution. Their struggle for liberation was not only against the Mubarak regime but against US imperialism. The Egyptian military has now taken control and called for an end to strikes and protests. However, their revolution is ongoing and deserves our solidarity
