JOURNALISM IS NOT A CRIME!
Petition for immidiate release of Philip Rizk

On 6 February 2009, Philip Rizk, a Masters student in Middle East Studies at the AUC, was returning to Cairo from a peaceful march in Qalyoubia (north of Cairo) in solidarity with Palestinians. Although none of his actions were violent or illegal, Philip was detained by police along with other participants in the march at around 5pm and brought to a police station some four hours later. There, state security agents singled Philip out for questioning and around 11pm, abducted him through a side door and drove him to an undisclosed location.

By signing this petition, you take a stand against illegal kidnappings and detentions without charges, and demand the immidiate release of Philip and others who are similiarly illegally detained. This petition will be sent to the secretary of justice.
