Emergency action at the Egyptian Embassy – Criticism for Maehara remarks
February 5 was a day of solidarity for the Egyptian people. In the afternoon, an emergency action was held in front of the Egyptian Embassy in Meguro-ku. 35 people attended the meeting and took up the microphone to speak in turns. There was a report of the meeting and parade of the Egyptian students in Japan, held on the same day. The participants criticized the remarks of Maehara, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, casting doubts on the immediate resignation of Mubarak, accused the US and Japan for supporting dictatorial regimes and expressed fear for further Israeli suppression of the Palestinian people. The meeting received a solidarity message from a Tunisian expatriate in Japan and concluded the meeting by chanting to the Embassy. Interests for the Egyptian people’s movement have spread through Twitter and Al Jezeera, so we hope to strengthen our voice of solidarity. ( Hiroshi Sugihara)
「緊急エジプト大使館行動」行われる~前原外相暴言への批判も
2月5日はエジプト民衆連帯デーとなった。午後、東京・目黒区のエジプト大使館前では、有志呼びかけの緊急行動が行われた。35人ほどが参加し、次々にマイクを握り発言。同時刻に開催された在日エジプト人留学生によるパレードの出発前集会(恵比寿公園)参加者からの報告や、ムバラクの即時退陣に疑問を呈した前原外相暴言への批判。さらに、独裁政権を支えてきた米国・日本への批判や、イスラエルによるパレスチナ人弾圧の強化を警戒する声も上がった。在日チュニジア人からの連帯アピールを受け、最後に大使館に向けてシュプレヒコール。日本でもアルジャジーラやツイッター等を通じて関心が高まっている中で、連帯の声をさらに大きくしていきたい。(杉原浩司)
