Ping-Pong: Benjamin Crump Files Response to Reconsideration for Deposition Motion

On March 18th George Zimmerman attorney, Mark O’Mara, filed a motion for judicial reconsideration regarding a prior ruling stopping Trayvon Martin family attorney, Benjamin Crump from being deposed.

Egypt Banner New

That noise you hear from the State Dept and White House?….  Yep, it’s the sound of crickets chirping....

The move seemed certain to deepen mistrust in an already polarised political landscape, further complicating Mursi’s efforts to build bridges with his opponents before parliamentary polls the opposition has threatened to boycott.

Those ordered arrested included Ahmed Douma and Alaa Abd El-Fattah, a leading blogger who became a symbol of the uprising that overthrew President Hosni Mubarak in 2011. Also ordered arrested were Karim al-Shaer, Hazem Abdel Azeem and Ahmed al-Sahafi. (more…)

Demonstrators say they were taken from the Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in suburban Cairo to a nearby mosque on Friday and tortured for hours by hard-line militia members.

“They accompanied me to one of the mosques in the area and I discovered the mosque was being used to imprison demonstrators and torture them,” Amir Ayad, a Coptic who has been a vocal protester against the regime, told MidEast Christian News from a hospital bed. (more…)
