>
>Dear Friends,
>
>Al-Adab has been informed that the Egyptian authorities are planning
>to deport Tamim Barghouthi in response to his anti-war activities in
>Egypt.
>
>Tamim was arrested on Sunday following the huge anti-war
>demonstrations in Cairo. Four Egyptian men, two wearing military
>dress and two incivilian clothing, broke into Tamim's parents'
>apartment at 5:00 am and took him to an unknown location. The
>captors did not present a warrant for his arrest or even show any
>identification.
>
>Tamim is a young poet in colloquial and an activist on behalf of the
>Palestinian cause and the Iraqi heroic resistance. He is the son of
>the renowned Palestinian poet Mureed Barghouthi and the famed
>Egyptian academic and activist Radwa Ashour.
>
>Ironically, because of Tamim's Jordanian nationality, Egypt is
>threatening to deport him to Jordan where authorities have gone on
>their OWN rampage of arrests, including most recently Dr. Ibrahim
>Alloush. When will the Arab regimes learn that Arab people
>everywhere have the right to expression and will not await
>permission to use it? Arab regimes which claim to oppose Israeli
>deportation plans are themselves exercising the same strategy.
>
>Al-Adab magazine calls on all intellectuals to rise up to the
>defense of Arab freedom of expression and protest, and calls upon
>the Egyptian authorities to free Tamim and the one hundred plus
>activists arrested during recent demos in support of the Iraqi
>people and its resistance.
>
>Please consider writing or calling your local Egyptian embassy to
>register your dismay at Egypt's brutality and disrespect for its
>people. If you live in a country that provides aid for Egypt, such
>as the US, bring up the matter of inconsistency between money for
>development and the growth of state repression. Egyptian officials
>must be thoroughly embarrassed internationally for their actions,
>and they must realize that the brave Egyptian citizens are people of
>the world.
>
>We humbly remind you that this tactic has proven very successful
>previously in the case of Dr. Hisham Bustani.
