Emergency statement on Egypt – initial signatures were handed in on Wednesday 21 August, but we will continue to send through protests after that date. Last update: 7 September

We are appalled by the killing of hundreds of protesters by the Egyptian security forces and army during the forced dispersal of supporters of former president Mohamed Morsi from protest camps in Cairo on 14 August. We also note with grave concern a wave of attacks on Christians and churches across Egypt in the wake of the dispersal of the protest camps.

Meanwhile the armed forces have intervened to break up workers’ strikes, such as the sit-in at Suez Steel, where two workers were arrested on 12 August. They are now facing charges which could see them jailed for 3-5 years. This follows on from repression of striking workers under the Muslim Brotherhood-led government, which included attempts to forcibly conscript striking rail workers in April 2013 and the use of police dogs to break up a sit-in by Portland Cement workers in February 2013.

When the Egyptian Revolution began in 2011, it lit a beacon of hope across the world with its slogan of bread, freedom and social justice. Today the Egyptian Army is trying to drown that hope in blood. Its leaders want to turn back the clock and restore Mubarak’s state to life. The military-backed government has imposed a State of Emergency, and is reviving Mubarak’s security police.

That is why we continue to stand with Egyptians’ struggle for social justice, genuine democracy, and the right to organise and strike. We will mobilise solidarity for those murdered, arrested and prosecuted for exercising their right to hold their rulers to account through protests, strikes and at the ballot box.

We call for:

• an immediate lifting of the State of Emergency
• the next elected government to bring to justice the perpetrators of all crimes both against protesters and against the Christian community
• the Egyptian authorities to respect all Egyptian citizens’ rights to freedom of expression and association including the right to strike, and to cease all prosecutions which violate these democratic rights
• Britain, the US and all foreign governments to cease all aid and arms sales to the Egyptian Armed Forces and police
