Calling all monitors

There is a meeting on Monday (5-September) - today- at 8 p.m. organized by the Human Rights NGO Coalition at the following address:

35 El Sheikh Ali Youssef St.,
3rd Floor,
Apt. 33
Mounira
Behind Rosa-el-Youssef

The meeting is a briefing for people who want to help in monitoring of the elections. Suposedly there is going to be some sort of training for the monitoring volunteers and will be handing out IDs and stuff to try to make it official.

Please Note: There is a court ruling that the civil societyorganizations (Human Rights Organizations and otherNGOs) should be allowed to monitor the elections but the Elections Committee has announced that it will notabide by the ruling.

Be Therefore Forwarned: DUE TO THE ABOVE FACT, THERE IS A PROBABILITY THAT THERE COULD BE SOME FRICTION AND POSSIBLY VIOLENCE IN THE POLLING STATIONS TO TRY TO KEEP THE MONITORS OUT.

But I guess you already knew that, right?

A man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do.
If monitoring will result in violence, so be it baby.
