In his statement to the bloc’s website, he said that the government doesn’t respond except to those demonstrating for restoring their rights; the government ignores the people’s demands till they demonstrate calling for them. The Earth Centre for Human Rights (Awlad al-Ardh) has recorded that Egypt experienced 59 protests during one month; including the labour’s strikes during April (44 strikes) that resulted in discharging about 520 labourers, murder of two, and injury of 19.
