Egypt: Arresting Activists after Hanging Posters Calling for #May27 Demo

The film maker Aida Elkashef (@AidaElkashef), the graphics artist Mohamed Fahmy (@Ganzeer) and the musician (@NadimX) were arrested by the police in Cairo Down Town. Ganzeer told Heba Fahmy that they were putting up stickers near the Journalists' syndicate.

  9. Egyptians are divided whether to participate in tomorrow's #May27 demonstrations or not. However the arrest of the activists might make some change their minds

    Graffiti is illegal - but #EgyArmy is stupid to arrest @ganzeer over this at this time. They need some goodwill #freeganzeer
