Reform Activists Permitted to March in Cairo
(AP/Guardian-UK) Nadia Abou El-Magd - A few hundred reform activists marched through a Cairo neighborhood Wednesday unmolested by riot police while denouncing President Hosni Mubarak, whose security forces historically have used a heavy hand against anti-government demonstrators. The rare unmolested protest occurred two days after Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visited Egypt and called for the Mubarak government to allow his opposition freedom of expression.
