As usual, the NDP's speech in the annual conference held in 30/10/2009 – 1/11/2009, held a hostile and threatening tone to the opposition parties. The speech pointed out that opposition is lying shamelessly to distort NDP’s accomplishments and especially the striking economical growth , reduction of unemployment and job opportunities. The speech listed the achievements of human rights and political freedoms with strict promises developing and deepening them to an unprecedented limit in Egypt, but only under Mubarak, Mubarak junior and associates
As he wrote, the pro government journalist , Samir Ragab, on the promises of President Mubarak's his book “ A promise Fulfilled “ .We have say that the National Party fulfilled its promise, and there was no time wasted between words and deeds, the state security and National Party, which fully delivered the message, as the blogs mostafa.net, sons of Egypt and strangely the business forum and twitter, arrested three of the “6th April Youth” Movement : Mohamed Adel Amr Osama ,bloggers and Amr Ezz last night 4/11/2009 without charge .. Security agents beat and insult members of the group down town in Cairo and took them to Azbakia police station to be prosecuted on 5/11/2009. Sources said they were writing “ No for succession “ on the walls.
The arrest comes a few days after the conference "Qilla Mondassa" held to counter that of the National Party’s , in addition to the participation of movement in the coalition against the succession, which was inaugurated in opposition to the succession of Gamal Mubarak. It is worth mentioning that Ayman Nour, founder of “Ghad” party and “Mayohkomshi”
Nour and Ihab El-Kholy, head of Ghad Party, headed to the police station after the conference held in party premises , in an attempt to release the three young men.
The April 6 movement issued a statement on its blog about this incident titled: "Gamal Mubarak starts dialogue with the opposition by arrest and torture of three of the 6 April Youth" . It stated that:” in reaction to the success of the second conference of “Qilla Mondasa” held by 6th of April Youth to expose the lies of the National Party and in response to the insistence of the 6th of April Youth to spread awareness of the succession plan, three members have been arrested three on 4/11/2009. Although the National Party controls all media from channels and to newspapers, and in spite of many publications promoting their conference all over Egypt, they could not accept the presence of another voice opposing to them trying to raise public awareness of the risk of misleading propaganda and exposes the false promises and offers alternative solutions for reform and change.
The statement stated that the frequent arrests, threats and repression would not stop the movement from carrying its mission in Egypt and would not stop resisting the succession project or the ruling of any of the men of the National Party who have ruined Egypt’s economy .
The movement will not stand still while the National Party is misleading, deceiving , looting and oppressing the masses and will continue to resist by all peaceful means whatever it takes.
The 6th of April Youth Movement requested of all human rights organizations and activists in Egypt and in all over the world to be in solidarity to stop the threats and arrests, and all repressive measures taken by the ruling party in Egypt and its military wing named state security service against members of the movement
