Workers in an agriculture company, who have been protesting outside the Egyptian Parliament for more than a month and a half now, on Wednesday staged a mock funeral for seven of them, who were shrouded in plastic sacks. Striking workers at the Nubaria Agricultural Company held the funeral the ceremony and began to solemnly shake hands with the mock mourners. The seven protesters laying on the ground in shrouds bore written banners on their bodies reading: "Mr Prosecutor General: Are you satisfied with us dying of hunger?" The whole scene started to look like a real funeral when one of the protesters began to recite verses from Islam's Holy Qur'an and to pray for them and against the Government. Some other protesters, who were demonstrating on the pavement outside Parliament in central Cairo joined the fake funeral. On Tuesday, those labourers removed part of their clothes in protest against withheld wages from their employer. They threaten to remove all their clothes if their demands for reimbursed wages and better working conditions are not met.
