Sinai Bedouins today surrounded the MFO headquarters in Sheikh Zuwaid, cut off access to the road to the airport and set tires alight for the second consecutive day today, demanding the release of children who are detained by security forces. The protestors issued a statement in which they emphasized that the tribes of North Sinai reject, deplore and condemn the practices of security agencies, including home invasions, arrests and terrorization of children. The security forces recently arrested a number of jihadists who reportedly have been involved in bombings and gas attacks on police stations, particularly in Arish, where recently an attack resulted in the death of two officers and three civilians and injured many others.
