As part of my question I referred the Tánaiste to a statement that has been put together by activists in Egypt and internationally calling for an end to the brutal repression that is now being undertaken by the Egyptian military regime against pro-democracy activists, students and journalists. Many of the people who led the democratic revolution in Egypt are now in prison, are being prosecuted or are being viciously repressed by the Egyptian military. Will the Tánaiste sign the statement and add the weight of the Government to the international solidarity movement's call for an end to the repression in Egypt?
