Ash Shaér attacked with switch-blade , and Sharkawy´s lawyer is denied meeting his client

Once again, distressing news about the two Kefaya activists and bloggers, Karim ash Shaer and Muhammed al Sharqawi, this time ash Shaér was slitched with a switch-blade in his right arm by a fellow prisoner while spending time in the infamous cell 12 a.

Gamal Eid, the laywer of both of them tried to meet them both on monday, but was only allowed to meet ash Shaér after a great deal of deliberation eventough, having all the neccesary permits. The same thing happened to laywer Rajia Omran today, when she tried to see them today, but she was not allowed too meet them. This seems to be part of the ongoing tug of war, between prison authorities and defence laywers.

Hopefully this was the last sad episode of this ongoing travesty of justice, according to the Judge Adel Said, the general prosecutors aid,the two will be released today and hopefully this story will come to a happy end. However, seeing is believing!
