مركز هشام مبارك للقانون

The city of Mahalla al-Kubra has turned into a military barracks since yesterday afternoon the time the security forces has begun cordoning off the city. Police checkpoints have been deployed on every street and the neighborhoods of Misr Spinning and Weaving Company were announced unaccessible area for both people and reporters. More, the Mahalla workers have received threats—the security personnel would respond with live bullets in case they took to the streets.
