April 6 march to presidential palace to protest court verdict against activists
Spokesman of the April 6 Youth Movement says Monday's verdict against activists 'politicised'
Ahram Online Published in Ahram Online on 07 - 04 - 2014

Several activists including members of the April 6 Youth movement have announced a march to the presidential palace in Cairo's Heliopolis district after a court on Monday upheld three-year sentences for three prominent activists.
Female activists and relatives of the detainees have already started a sit-in in front of the palace, activist Mona Seif of the No to Military Trials campaign said via Twitter.
April 6 spokesman Khaled El-Masry told Al-Ahram's Arabic news website that his group refuses Monday's verdict, which he accused of being "politicised".
On Monday, the Cairo Misdemeanour Court of Appeals rejected an appeal from three prominent activists – Ahmed Maher, Mohamed Adel and Ahmed Douma, leading figures in the January 2011 uprising which toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak – and upheld sentences of three years in jail and fines of LE50,000 for each of them.
The three activists have been detained since December after they were arrested for violating a contentious protest law which bans all demonstrations not pre-approved by authorities.
The 6 April march to the presidential palace will also call for the cancellation of the protest law.
