Opposition Activists Protest Bush Visit to Egypt

HeadlineJan 15, 2008

Police confined the protesters to the steps of the Journalists Syndicate in Cairo.
Opposition MP Mustafa Bakri criticized Mubarak for inviting President Bush.

Mustafa Bakri: “This visit has a specific agenda. First of all, it’s against the resistance, and it’s meant to rally the Arab leaders against Iran and to continue the interference in the foreign policies of Arab states. Therefore we reject this visit, and I have requested in Parliament that Bush be kicked out and not be received. And we have to demonstrate and clearly express our opinions against Bush and his government.”
