Government urged to complain to Egypt
Moviment Graffitti has called on the government to file an official complaint with the Egyptian government over the treatment of international activists in Egypt.
Graffitti made the appeal during a show of solidarity with the people of Gaza in Palestine in a peaceful demonstration outside the Egyptian Embassy on Tuesday.
Graffitti activist Lana Turner has just returned from the North African country, where she, along with 1,400 protesters from all over the world, attempted to join the people of Gaza in a solidarity march held to mark a year since Israel's devastating bombing of the Gaza Strip.
Protesters descending on Cairo were told by the Egyptian authorities they would not be allowed to join the march. Undeterred, Ms Turner went to border towns Al Arish and Rafah, where she claimed that she herself and others were the victims of brutality by the police and military forces.

@Rosalie Bayes.
I don't have Machine Guns-Air Sea Power nor phosphor Bombs what you expect me to
use to harm and kill to who murdered my family.
My methods help me to blow up the INVADER / MURDERER and you agree with me.
Thanks

Matthew it is you who need to grow up and stop being petty and provincial.... graffitti are constantly talking about local issues too..and if there are any issues which you think should be 'talked about' DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT YOURSELF instead of telli ng others what to do! What arrogance!

@ M. Azzopardi
I beleive that M.Turner & Co. are grown up in person, responsability and mentallity.
Local matters are for us to talk about, bring to the attention of authorities and when
justice need be we hammer on authorities to apply logics.
M.Turner & Co. brought serious ugly matters to remind our authorities what our
next of kin is enduring in GAZA. Serious matters that due to infrequent daily news we and our
authorities not giving the matter the attention it deserve.
Being half of Egypt population are blood brothers to PALESTINIANS and the other half who is in POWER turned (as usual) hypocrites puppet to the DOLLAR are forcing on PALESTINE
suffering that Palestinians don't deserve nor logical.
So, we MALTESE join M.Turner & Co. to demand our authorities to seriously discuss the matter with the Egyptians.
One can't see a meaning in your comment.
