Riot police and Textile Unions clash in demonstrations in Egypt

Riots have been clashed by hundreds of textile workers in Cairo city right after a demonstration held against the matter of privatization of textile factory.

A private company named Tanta Linen, dealing with oil and flax was sold by the government around 4 years back.

Many workers who explain their conditions and pay have suffered greatly have resulted in causing range of strikes.

On 10 February 2010, demonstrations were held over all over the streets that too outside the Cabinet Office located in the central Cairo, responded the police.

Egyptian politics have been seriously affected by the emergence of extensive force by the Trade Unions in recent years, explain correspondents.

Their move towards demonstrations over the Cairo streets, nearby the Government seat, can be still seen as an unusual one.

Egypt has strict laws for controlling the public demonstrations like such, and the riot control police take the move in breaking up the sit-in.
