Egypt: Play banned over 'foul language'

Egyptian freedom of expression advocates are in an uproar over the banning of a play over its alleged use of 'foul language'. Rights movements issued a joint statement condemning al-Sawy Cultural Center in Cairo for banning the play 'Mono-drama Auto bus' from showing at the center’s 7th Mono-drama theater festival taking place this month. The Egyptian Women Union, the New Woman Foundation, the Egyptian Coalition and the Egyptian Democratic Institution are among the organization who have signed on in condemnation.
