(02.09.2011) To the International Day of Action for imprisoned Egyptian conscientious objector and pacifist Maikel Nabil Sanad took place protest actions in Athens, Asyut, Barcelona, Cairo, Frankfurt/M., Helsinki, London and other places. In April 2011 Maikel Nabil Sanad was sentenced by an Egyptian military court to three years imprisonment, because he was one of the first to criticise the role of the military. In his blog he reported on ongoing human rights violations and the political influence of the Egyptian military during and after the revolution. On Tuesday, 23 August 2011, Maikel Nabil Sanad began a hunger strike in protest against his continued imprisonment, and delays in dealing with his appeal. With the actions was demanded his immediate release.
