Items related to Abbasseya violence

A group of activists shouting in support of Helwan for Engineering Industries Company (HEIC) workers on military trial, General Prosecutor's Office, Cairo, August 25, 2010. The case against HEIC was sparked by an explosion in an HEIC factory late July, prompting workers to report incident to chairman about safety standards but to no avail. Two weeks later, another hydrogen cylinder explosion killed a worker, which raised his colleagues to action. On trial, workers were accused of vandalizing factory properties worth of EGP 162,000, deliberately stopping production, resulting in EGP 1,300,000 of losses, assaulting factory chairman, and contacting Muslim Brotherhood's official website with "secret information." On August 30, military court ruled three workers not gulity and suspended sentnces of 6 months - one year against five others.
