UUSC Stands in Solidarity with the People of Egypt
Date this position was adopted by UUSC:
Tuesday, February 1, 2011Voice your support! Sign on to UUSC's Facebook event "Eye to Eye with Egyptians" and show your support on Facebook, Twitter, and other social-networking channels.
Take action! Express your concern about civil-liberties violations to the Egyptian consulates.
UUSC stands in solidarity with the people of Egypt in their peaceful struggle for a fair, democratic government. The Egyptian people deserve justice, participatory government, and their full measure of human rights. They are demonstrating to the world their commitment to those ideals by raising their voices and taking to the streets in nonviolent, peaceful protest in the face of government repression. UUSC deplores the violence by members of the police and security forces against the protesters. We are greatly encouraged by the Egyptian Army's announcement on Monday, January 31, that they will not use force against people participating in the protests. We hope that the security forces will continue to desist from armed action against an unarmed population. We encourage a peaceful transition to a government that responds to the needs and respects the rights of the Egyptian people.
