Briefing on Egyptian Universities by Nicola Pratt
Dr Nicola Pratt has written a briefing titled 'Egyptian universities on the frontline of protest' for Egypt Solidarity. The briefing exposes the scale of the crackdown on Egyptian university campuses over the past academic year.
Dr Pratt documents an extensive catalogue of abuses by the security forces including shooting protesting students, arbitrary mass arrests and repeated assaults on university campuses with tear gas and birdshot. Yet student protests have continued for months, as activists challenge the military regime.
